I like to do the same with my guys. Putting them in RIDICULOUS dramatic or undramatic situations to see how they fare through it. They grow just like people, and that's part of the whole fun of it in the first place. I think Achilles has grown the most in my troupe. Oedipus, well....we'll see where he goes...and the rest are still kind of coming into their own.
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles....geeeze I sound like a broken record. Lawl. Anyways....yeah.
