Sydney Lau delivered the line and then couldn’t help but laugh.“That’s preposterous,” she said on stage as she joined her fellow “The Trial of the Wicked Witch” cast members on stage and was met with eerie silence.“And it is preposterous because that’s not my line.”Her friends and her director couldn’t help but laugh. Yes, the first “live performance” of the play was less than 24 hours away, but a good line is a good line.“Is it stressful?
