Has anyone had a spectacularly dull part in a play? I'm sure I've mentioned before that, at the age of five or six, I played a tree and a wave in a production of "The Owl and the Pussycat". Several of us held plywood triangles, one side blue to represent a wave and the other side green to represent a tree. These were to be used appropriately when the owl and the pussycat were either at sea or on an island. Needless to say, I buggered it up at one stage and was happily waving a blue tree around. Not that this bothers me, 55 years on.
My thespian career died on that evening---a lonely blue wave in a forest of green trees.
