There's a lovely story Wakeman tells about that.
One of the scenes involved people having a battle. There was an even number of participants, and the climax involved everyone being killed in a kind of mutual stab. One evening, though, one of the fighters was off sick, which meant that there was one performer with noone to stab and noone to stab him.
He only realised this when he was surrounded by corpses. Flustered, he shrugged, and stabbed himself.
