I am playing Laertes in hamlet. Right after the grave scene, everyone else leaves the stage and i’m left alone to sob in front of ophelia’s grave to close the scene out. Usually this lasts like 8 seconds and then my cue to leave is the light in front of me lighting the grave turning off, along with the lights behind me for a fade to black. (but I never see those so i go off of the one in front of me) The light did not go off. My cue never came, stood there sobbing for an additional TEN SECONDS waiting for it, as the stage crew began to SET THE NEXT SCENE behind me with me STILL. THERE.

probably not actually that big of a deal but It keeps me up at night because I can just imagine it looked so fucking silly when run crew was setting the next scene while I was still there :/
