Why do modern actors and directors love classics?

I have seen classics and modern productions on all types of stages. I've been disappointed with very few, as it is wonderful to see people in theatre. I still personally think that Equus (Dir G.Malcom. /Starring P Thompson. P/lovers - was a great piece of theatre and held in a community hall. I see classics in London and on Broadway on a regular basis and the only difference between them and this production was the space. It would be very arrogant to say that you keep away in fear of getting bored. Then I say - be bored. Stay away. If it wasn't for community theatre in Perth, there really wouldn't be any in Perth. Any you most certainly wouldn't be viewing your opinion on this excellent site. Keep up the great work Perth. Classics or New.
