Psychological trick II

Todosijević Raša, Belgrade, June 18, 2010

Glenn’s corrections

When in the beginning of a theatre play somebody mentions the word “gun” or when without any particular reason this little and lethal weapon is brought forward and shown on the stage, it is clear to the audience that it is a psychological trick and that there will definitely happen a murder in the third act, alluded at by the gun which was shown at the beginning of the play.

In another case, if at the very beginning of a theatre play somebody pulls big field gun onto the stage, an anti-recoil monster, and then one of the actors 1) starts to shoot at the bewildered crowd at the stalls, it will be clear to the audience that the play has reached its obvious ending.

Note:

1) In that particular situation, when life – life with capital L – starts mixing with real art, the dramatist prefers a mail actor who wears a long black moustache.
