After playing Franz, the Nazi butler, in Friday's performance of "The Sound Of Music", an eighty-year-old man came up to me and shook my hand:
I really enjoyed your performance. As a ten-year-old boy, I was on one of the very last boats to escape Greece when the Nazis invaded. I remember it very clearly. We heard absolutely nothing from our relatives until after the war was over. Those Nazis weren't human: they were monsters!"Thank you! (I think....)
In fact, in the second act, I started getting madder and madder at you. What I wanted, more than anything, was to jump up on the stage, grab you by the throat, and choke you until you passed out!
