I have never heard a theatre go so dead silent in my life -- talk about hearing a pin drop. It's an astonishing moment - both because of Hector's distress, but also because I imagine that everyone in the audience can sympathise with how embarrassed the boys must be.
Talking of visceral reactions, the Headmaster makes me shudder; "There's passion there, or, as I prefer to call it, commitment." It's such a killer line.
I can't wait for the film either.
