why does everyone on here who posts a comment profess to be an expert? i was of the impression that art was subjective, however, we seem desperate to identify what is 'the best', as oppose to just having individual opinion. having said that these awards do nothing but advertise local theatre and help promote the art in the state. it makes for interesting conversation, and makes people talk and discuss...therefore create maybe creativity. im afraid most people on here are self indulgent and if it is not 'their' opinion then it is the wrong opinion. i think the standard here in perth is good and is getting better, in terms of diversity. but dont for one minute think that these awards are the be all and end all. they are after all created and adjudicated by a few self appointed theatre goers. they are not nor i hope profess to be 'experts' in the field, rather a group that say what they enjoy and comment on its succesfulness with references to different areas. i have heard what some have said and not agreed, it doesnt mean i am wrong or they are right...just opinion. get over it perth, it is just an evening to enjoy, if you didnt get nominated dont cry, this event will not mean a thing other than a bit of fun!
