Michael Caine played the role of Dr Frank Bryant in ‘Educating Rita’. As an inside joke, he was given the following line:
‘Did you know that Macbeth was a maggoty apple? Not many people know that!’

So he did, but it is attributed to Peter Sellers when doing an impression. Apparently, because of this Caine agreed to say it in the aforementioned film. Apparently.

I attribute it to use of mind-bending chemicals in the 60s and their "afterglow". Lines from Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" come to mind.

Peace. Eat the rich. Up the revolution.

This is caused by a little known effect called collapseonomy. It's when the space between your bodily atoms is reduced as you move towards the auditorium, which - and I have it on good authority - is actually the size of a matchbox. The effects are completely unnoticed at the time. But on leaving the theatre, there is this strange-worldiness feeling you get as your foot hits the pavement outside. Most people put it down to the darkness /gloom inside, a sort of 'suddenly in the outside' again, and it soon passes with no more thought. What actually has happened is the final alignment of your bodily structure to it's natural state.

Is this the Tardis effect?

Have you ever noticed how some theatres seem vast inside, yet the entrance from the street is not much bigger than an ordinary small shop?
