Real applause for an unreal stunt

Reminds me of a time when I wrote a play based on an event which had happened near the time of performance. It was done for a friend who was doing his GCSE drama studies, badly, and having had a bit of experience in the field I decided to help him out. One scene called for myself and a different friend to storm in brandishing knives. For the recording, I got two steak knives since no one was actually going to have their knives near them. We went through the rehearsal of the scene just prior to shooting it, finished and then there was a little voice from one of the actresses:
"Are those real knives?"

Apparently we should have shot the rehersal because her terror was a bit more geniune

Come to think of it, with todays laws on knives, I probably would have been arrested :hmm:
