Breaking a leg

[Dave Taylor]

Gentlemen,

The plan is nearly perfect and I am more than willing to be the guinea pig for such important historical research. There's only one caveat. What will be the motivation for me to flee the theatre after Jim bashes me in the leg? Booth knew there were many angry audience members who would kill him if he stayed, so the adrenaline helped him a lot. If I'm really getting into the mindset of John Wilkes Booth, I'll need some similar motivation to get up and get moving after such a crippling blow. Like Daniel Day Lewis, I need to become the character. So how are you guys to re-create the adrenaline effect of the escape?
