Fourth Wall


It's not really that funny, but I just wanted an excuse to break the fourth wall. The fourth wall is the imaginary line between actors and the audience. Originating from stage, you have the two sides, and the back of the stage, but the actors are to imagine the fourth wall (currently being occupied by a large audience). If ever the actor were to talk directly to the audience, and allude to knowledge that he is in a play, that was "breaking" the fourth wall.
See, you get a comic AND a history lesson. That's just good value!
