Opening Night Blues
"First nights are ghastly ordeals for actors. A recent study indicates that the stress endured is equivalent to being involved in a minor car crash, and that's without the intervention of the utilities. Everybody there is willing you to succeed or fail, and the only reaction from the darkness of the auditorium is the forced laughter of friends and family or the equally deafening silence from critics and bitter rivals."
