Rest of the class looks at me as if I am not following the play.
Teacher looks at me for a minute then says: "You aren't reading from the assigned textbook, are you?"
I told him I wasn't, then he said to jump ahead to a specific line, so I'd be where the rest of the class was.
Theater maxim: Never read, much less perform that damned Scottish play. It always will cause a problem.
