509 - UNITE

It was TEN o'clock in the evening and the play rehearsal was still going on. The director was cross with the actors because they kept getting their lines wrong. "Have another go at that scene", balled the director. "I believe that this dagger is yours", said one actor. "No, no, no", cut in the director - "It's 'I believe that this dagger is thine'", he chided. And so they had to start again. During a coffee break the actors hatched a plan. When the next scene rehearsal started (by now it was gone midnight), the actors all turned towards the director and said in unison "We are going home now. We have decided to unite in this decision and there's nothing you can do about it." The next rehearsal was going to be tricky but by then the director had cooled down and was apologetic to the actors.
