It's coming soon... The Blue Room and Always Working Artists present: APOCALYPSE PERTH by Kate Rice "It doesn't sound like a very interesting concept for a play" "This writer must be hard up for ideas" "I thought great theatre stemmed from a writer's imagination, not a bitchfest." Just a few of the comments in response to Kate Rice's invitation to theatre bloggers to contribute to our verbatim theatre production of an online forum. You could find half the script on this website (the other half is from interviews that Kate conducted with forum perpetrators and victims). But you'll enjoy yourself much more by experiencing the forum LIVE at the Blue Room Studio, 22 Oct - 8 Nov. http://www.theatre.asn.au/production/2008/apocalypse_perth PS, you can slag-off this p;ost as much as you like but, be warned, it's not too late for us to include your diatribes in the production.

Just that you can't be sure

Just that you can't be sure that the local people he talks about will be hurt by it. Like with this thread, how do we know how many of the bad comments about their play really came from anyone with any credibility? With this thread we know that all the comments have come from people who haven't even seen the show. I now think that must happen a lot. So maybe the players from Joondalup who gave Jeremy Rice their comments will be helped by having their story told, not hurt. Has anyone asked them what they think? Lots of them must've agreed to it. It might be good publicity for them. just trying to see it from all sides. I'd rather reserve judgement until I at least see it, or hear from someone who has. Give them a fair go. It's what I'd want if it was me.
