i believe the storms are an integral part of the play, and if there are
some problems on only one stage, then that stage would continue with its
particular performance by means of a storm. the storm would not be a
disruption on the performance but an unpredictable part of it. and i'm sure
we should 'welcome the unexpected' (J. Cage)

i also think to continue with the acting when there's no connection to
other stages would be to fake the basic idea of this project; to lie.
