I too enjoy innovative and "unsafe" Theatre, but the best examples I have ever seen are not from mainstream companies. As a company that recieves a fair wack of public monies they also have a duty to put something on the stage, the public may want to see.
I have seen 3 or 4 versions of "Away" so I will be staying away from this play anyways,anytime and anywhere.
Just because an actor has come to the publics attention through the medium of television they shouldn't be banned from the stage, many of Australia's favourite actors have a soapy or TV show to thank for their succsess nationaly.
Having the "TV personality" in a show brings an audience into the theatre that otherwise may never have gone near the place. This can be frustrating to the Theatre lover, as the TV land audience have no appreciation of live theatre, they chat, and generally seem disinterested in the show until their "Star" appears. But hopefully one or two may become converts.
I agree Justin that their are many fine actors in WA but I would bet London to a brick that if they had a chance to become a soapy star they would jump at it.
