Help Please

Hello Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dr/ Plinge I admit now that " coping with a difficult script" didn't really tell anyone who didn't see the show much about the award, but if you had seen the show you would know that this particular character was someone who had a language problem. That meant that most of her sentences came out backwards. She performed that role very well and it was a difficult script to learn, no it wasn't impossible , but it was difficult. Then again, I wouldn't need to tell you that if you had seen all the shows that were nominated last year. However, I do absolutely agree with you on one or two points you make. I am a firm believer that if you don't have a person who can perform the role of Hamlet well, then you really shouldn't direct a production of Hamlet, simply because it is your life long dream to direct the show. Wait until you have the right cast. That is of course easier said than done, but it is something to consider. It is absolutely the same with musicals and I would hope that anyone who was going to do a musical would have enough sense to make sure that they had the right people to start with before they even began the rehearsal procedure. No argument from me there at all. I agree completely that community theatre doesn't have to be rubbish because people aren't being paid. However I will also tell you that the community theatre must and has to cater for the people who want to do it because they love it. For the ones who are in it to improve and to learn and to grow then I applaud them totally and I hope that they stay around long enough to pass their knowledge on to others. For the ones who are there to have fun , well that is their right. I don't agree that I should have to pay to see people simply having fun on stage , no matter how bad their acting is, however, if clubs wish to allow them to do so, then that is their choice too.
