Evaporating Sun previously put on Patrick Marber’s ‘Closer’ which sold out in its final week and Caryl Churchill’s ‘A Number’ at Forty Five Downstairs which garnered great reviews (**** in the Age). Evaporating Sun are putting on a co-op production of an original play called ‘Equilibrium’ in late April at the Northcote Town hall. The play is a dialogue driven piece about relationships and sexual politics and the themes are loss of innocence, hope and curiosity. An independent dramaturge report about the play notes that: “This is an accomplished, ambitious, and formally inventive piece of playwriting… this is a very effective work that should be realised in a production sooner rather than later”. At this stage we are looking for a director who would be interested in directing this work. Because it is the first time that this play will be performed it is important that the writers intent is the driving force behind the work. If you are interested please send a note about your work and approach to evaporatingsun@gmail.com . If you know of someone that may be interested please let them know about this.

It seems to me that much has been blown out of proportion here and a lot of it of it has to do with Craigs original posting.It is slightly confusing in that it is replying to three different posts but isnt entirely clear as to which words are describing which post. Musical Mums comments may have been a little pedantic and slightly terse but not what I would call offensive or a "rant".However statements that contain words like "moron" and "Stupidity", as in Craigs post, can certainly be called a rant. Joemcs posting is the only one of the first three that could be construed as offensive if you are not familiar with Joe's style.This is the one that the Melbourne reply mainly refers to yet it is not referred to again in the thread and Musical Mum takes the brunt of the criticism.Criticisms which contain Rhetoric ,hyperbole and insults which are in no way constructive. I borrow the word hyperbole from Bass Guy who uses the word in a sentence itself full of hyperbole. For me the most sensible statement came from Na who also kept it polite. Sorry to stir the pot again but I felt a need to express an opinion. Cheers
