They should have just been honest with the audience and still went through with the play. I think that would have been fun to watch.
I was thinking about your comment. I think a lot of professionals can drink/smoke and still get through without anyone knowing. Tasks like acting while stoned? I think they’ll cinch it, unless it made them like sleepy or they have a bad trip.
Then I thought about more improv like shows, and One of my favorite live shows was a live taping of Doug Loves Movies with Doug Benson and crew getting stoned on a podcast. After a few of them, it kinda became tame.
Thinking about it some more - I dunno if there can be good, consistent entertainment where a crowd of people get stoned and watch the chaos. It’ll probably be a fun one off at best.
it’s more about being liable. The theatre is essentially a construction site with a lot of blind drops, even if the weed didn’t actually impair you, would you be liable if an accident (that potentially could’ve happened anyway) occurs while you were high?
If they weren’t high enough to Riverdance they weren’t that damn high.
