Q5) You shouldn't think of the other actor as your opponent but your.... What?
"You shouldn't think of the other actor as your opponent but your partner". Terry King speaks these words because he understands that you are technically acting, so you have to treat other actors as your partner, not a literal enemy.

Q8) When thinking of weaponry what do you have to consider?
You must find weaponry that is appropriate to the world and timeline in which the characters are existing.
Q9) What did the director of King Lear want?
The director of King Lear wanted the production to be bloody, and gory.
Q10) 10. Name one way that you could show an eyeball has been removed (on stage) and thrown onto the floor - what would you use?
Terry King states that, to show an eyeball has been removed (on stage) and thrown onto the floor, you would have to conceal or hide the victim, before revealing the gory outcome.
So, one way I would show an eyeball has been removed (on stage) and thrown onto the floor is by, maybe cutting the lights for concealment and consequently permeating the stage with an agonising screech, before brightening the lights again to reveal a half-dead mangled corpse (don't worry, it would just be exceptionally accurate makeup) with a fake eyeball rolling around on the floor, fake blood trailing behind it.
