Part of the fascination and fear of live performance is the way things change once an audience is involved. The first time I directed a show, a long, long, long time ago, I could hardly bear the tension. Now I can, but only just.
I used to ask myself, about twenty minutes before Showtime, why on earth I was doing this. And after every performance I would have the answer.
Postscript: Got the answer yesterday evening as usual - and all the richer because I don't take the 'as usual' for granted.
