Different every night....

Inevitably the thrill and the terror for a director watching a performance of their show is the complete relinquishing of power to the actors on stage....will they remember their lines? Will they incorporate the new notes? Will they come on stage at the right time? And if 'no' to any of the previous, what will they do instead? Exciting and terrifying, but I suspect, much worse for the actors. Which is, of course, why we are directors, not actors......
