Twas interesting when I was in 'My Fair Lady', and we had the scene at Ascott, all walking past each other haughtily and politely. There were those who stayed in character entirely - "Good morning, lovely to see you today, that was a good race" etc, and then those who used the chance to try and make their partner laugh, which would of course be entirely out of place in that scene. I remember having to practically run off stage after my dear partner remarked in the poshest Ascott accent "My dear you look like a cow in that dress. Let's go out for KFC" Theatre is fun :)
