On behalf of Hywel Williams, and the Phoenix Theatre we thank all who expressed an interest in the play. PS: Phoenix are currently reviewing / sourcing a replacement production. cheers Johnny Grim

I really must make the effort to travel to Melville as they obviuosly never put on a dud show (despite admitted lack of public support on occassions) and have cast's and committee's without ego's. The main reason a playwrite creates a work is surely in the hope it will be performed AND RECEIVE BOTH CRITICAL AND PUBLIC PRAISE. If it fails on either front it could not (by any reasonable person) be deemed a success. It is pointless carrying on this debate because obviously Mr Hanson and I cannot agree on what critria a production should be assessed. The theatre going public is not afraid of supporting quality avante garde pieces as evedenced by the success of many such at PIAF however "quality" is the key. You ca polish a turd all you like but at the end of the process it is still a turd!
