Audiences need to lift their game
Mon, 19 Mar 2001, 06:10 amSo writes Timothy (Kafka Dances) Daly in this article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Let's be brutally frank: in the main, our theatre audiences are pleasant, well-mannered, not very knowledgeable, intellectually undemanding, slightly imaginative, and with a very strong comfort zone. A former artistic director of Sydney Theatre Company once complained that his subscribers "only care about having comfortable seats and good coffee""
Check it out.

Are these guys so far up themselves - they have lost the reason why they are here? The amount of so called stars who have become bigger than thier audiance and life it's self, who have been flushed down the bog that I have seen and worked with over the past few life times (that probably includes me to a small extent) who have not learned from others and history or those who have gone before - amazes me. But like all cycvles they keep popping back up to the top regularly.
Why don't they stay home and DO IT in front of a mirror.
