Macbeth, smoking, school

My school (a reasonably respectable grammar school) was putting on a performance of Macbeth – I had a minor part in it which involved rushing (with loads of others) from the back of the hall, through the audience, screaming and shouting as we stormed the stage; we mainly shouted “Avjo”, it being a battle cry of the school incorporating the headmaster’s first name.  Moving around the school grounds whilst my towering histrionic talents were not required, I did what many 14 year old boys did in those days – had a cigarette; a master walked the other way and his only action was to say that I probably should not be doing that.
