My intention still is to write a play to commemorate, possibly rather skeptically, the 50th anniversary of the Russian revolution.

Confronting a stadium audience, you can't see the whites of their eyes. It's just an amorphous mass of noise and, of course, you can't see the alleged billions watching at home either, so the degree to which you are intimidated is quite low. Votes: 4 Rowan Atkinson
