As an old college G&S society officer, I was thrilled with the 
closing credits for "Atonement," with Marcus' wonderful song, 
& Franklin finally losing it -- we all know the feeling -- & then
somebody off-stage screams "CUT!!" before everything, as
it were, goes blank.  So my question is, who screamed?
Jim Ward at the Down Below Sound Archive suggested it
might be you, but I wondered if the director did it.  In any
event it will now stand enshrined as one of B5's best comic 
moments, of which there are so delightfully many.  

As you've said, like the grave-diggers in Hamlet . . .

Congratulations on the show & all the best,
Miriam

Nope.  It would be a suggestion in that case, the director could
override that if he wanted, in which case the actors would go back to
before the flub and take it from there.

"While I'm certainly willing to believe that the director did it here,
this is not a straight answer, in that "Cut" ended up part of the show,
and was therefore in the script, at least after the fact."

No, it was never in the script, before or after.  We just grabbed the
whole audio because it worked.

"By way of example, surely an actor playing a director shooting a scene
could shout either instruction, yes?"

Sigh...
