But I already told this story on my journal, so might as well repeat it:

When I was a teenager, I was part of a very amateur youth production of Antony and Cleopatra. Our Antony was cast entirely on the basis of being male and willing to play love scenes, as you do. He was... kind of a ham? I mean, he could act, but his strengths were in comedy. So he had excellent surprised reactions to his servant killing himself instead, and to "What, Cleopatra's *not* dead?" which in rehearsal I thought were good drama. The audience found them hilarious.
