Theatre Drama
Four men sliced open an actor in a theatre, yet none was arrested nor was anyone surprised at the action. In fact, they expected it. Why?
Answer
The four men were surgeons operating on an actor. The 'theatre' was, of course, the operating theatre. Naturally, because they were doing their job, no one was arrested!Hide Answer Show Answer

Wow I never thought of that kind of theater!
I thought it was a magician sawing an assistant in half.
Very clever. I thought it was an acting theatre and it was a scene or something...
I agree with Nerene. Can't it be that all of the men were acting out a death scene or something.
If they were just acting out a scene, then they wouldn't actually slice open the actor. They would just PRETEND to slice open the actor.
Kwelchains, you're being TOO LITERAL. Duh, of course they would pretend to! Theatre is about suspension of disbelief. Of course we know in the back of our minds that they're not REALLY, say, carrying out a gruesome punishment on Gloucester in King Lear...but, if done right, we may be able to believe it in the CONTEXT of the show.
ooh i get it! haha cool. i guessed they were acting out the ides of march, or whatever its called. that play, think its by shakespeare. the scene where the group of members of the senate kill julius ceaser
You mean Julius Ceasar? It's the name of the play, and yes it's by Shakespeare.
I didn't know that operating theaters are still used.

That answer passed through my mind...but I ended up thinking it might be a puppet, in a puppet theatre, and they sliced it open for some reason. I dunno, my mind just works in strange ways I guess.
Nice one! I thought, like many others, that it was in a gruesome scene of a play or something. Keep up the good work.
I figured they were just acting like they were slicing him.
Innit, i thought they were performing a play! I was like "Ohhhhh!" when i saw the answer! Great stuff man! Keep it up!
I thought they were all just acting
al111: i think that's kwelchan's point
