critics and defenders of Rock Apocalypse
Fri, 18 July 2008, 05:08 pmI am a playwright in search of some drama. Could all those who participated in the forum entitled "Rock Apocalypse - Perth" (started 11 Feb 2008) please contact me either through this site or via email on:
apocalypseperth@yahoo.com.au
Hope to hear from you
Kate
An apology
Mon, 21 July 2008, 03:27 pmI've been feeling a bit guilty about my posting above.
I do think the project has the potential to be damaging to the community theatre community generally, and more specifically to JETS and some of the individuals involved in the original discussion thread. On the other hand, it does have the potential to raise some real issues for discussion that could ultimately be of benefit.
I don't know that I want to be involved personally, as my reservations (some of which I've stated in my email above) still stand. However, I have communicated with the playwright outside of this forum and have been impressed with her responses - I intend to give it some more thought.
Regardless of whether I become involved myself or not, it's wrong of me to attempt to stifle a creative endeavour on the basis that the outcome might not be pleasant.
Public apologies to you Kate for my very negative posting, and I hope that people make up their own minds about the merits (or otherwise) of what you're doing.
Garry
