Michael WeberGUEST
Yeah, well, I think it's two different things.
Michael WeberGUEST
One is an artistic gesture, and there certainly has been, and you look back at classic musicals like Little Me, where Sid Caesar played nine different characters, and there's a great deal of theatrical joy and fun in one actor doing quick changes and walking out and coming back in.
Michael WeberGUEST
The concept of, there were vaudevillians at the turn of the century who were called protean dramatists, And what they would do is they had a screen on stage and they would walk behind the screen and come out of the other side of the screen completely changed and dressed and enact the great characters of drama and literature.
Michael WeberGUEST
And then they walk behind the screen and now I'm appearing and I'm Tevye and I'm coming out and now I'm Shylock and now I'm coming out and now I'm, you know, and Hamlet, you know, and that was- It's Operation Mincemeat is what it sounds like.
Michael GebertHOST
