storytime. i was watching the les mis 25th anniversary with my grandparents, and at the end of the first attack (when valjean shoots at the sky), my grandad suddenly asks
"what if that was a real gun? And what if there were bullets in it?"
agog and aghast, i ask what on earth he's on about, because obviously the gun would never be real and OBVIOUSLY the gun would never be loaded.
"And what if he shot a goose down and it fell into the audience?"
.
ah yes, the distant honk of a creature, as the barricades go silent- and a goose falls dead into some poor, unsuspecting audience members lap.
its genius.
obviously, what the show needs is a rubber goose.
