Call me unreasonable then, because I have been in plays that have been deemed 'wonderful' by the critics but the audience stayed away in droves...and vice versa, some of them make me cringe when I think back too. This is life, this is the way it is. It won't stop me wanting to take the risk and do the unknown, the new, by someone we've never heard of, etc. After all, every play was new once upon a time. Who's to say that in 30, 40, 50 year's time I won't look back and think 'ah little flossy's play has done well hasn't it? I remember I was in the premiere production of that, performed to two people and a cat, these days it has sell out houses'
It's finding the balance that is tricky for companys, mixing the tried and true, bums on seats, crowd pleasers with the .... unknown. Exciting!
