One enjoyed treading the boards, although as one dislikes intensely the politics of amateur theatre, one does not do so now, and probably will not ever again. Even in a codpiece that would make men grow pale and women swoon.
It is said that their are two types of beginning actor. The first, is marked off in six foot lengths and sawed. The second is lightly glazed and sliced thin. Whilst, eventually, with the dint of much sandpaper and varnish, it is possible to produce a polished work of art out of the first, sadly the only recourse for the second is to devour it between two pieces of bread and with a slice of cheese.
And a pickle.
The pickle (as previously mentioned) is vitally important.
