If you want to embarrass your director, right, what you do is this.
What you do is you show up to rehearsal at his house, because you’re workshopping each monologue separately in the performance space in his garage, you show up at his house and you go in the front door and when his dog comes up and sniffs you, and I mean REALLY sniffs you, gets in really close, you know, his snout all up in your business, so close that he really should have bought you a drink first, when the director’s dog goes in for his big sniff, what you do is you say:
“Oh, he can smell that I’ve got my period.”
That’s how you embarrass your director.
