Mas se você não souber o texto, e precisa fazer o papel de todas maneiras, ir cantingas, seria aceitar a coisa....me parece. Eles fizeram o papel e o público não se deu conta. Therefore, these actors who didn't know the text, went along with the charade....

to go along with the pretense

My comment:

He gave us prompts that were all off, and as we didn't know one word of the lines in the play, we went along with the game.
Cantinga is a pretexto disfarçado....but that doesn't work here....it's a pretense...

***And they have not attended a play; they have ***acted in*** one....***

assoprar is to promnpt someone for a play. Souffler in French. Give them their lines....
