Walking Out Of Performances at interval.

Last night we had a total attendance of 17. None walked out. Now, I don't know if that is because they did not have their own transport home or not or they actually wanted to stay, but it was a pleasant change for those envolved. We have joked that we got the intelligent people last night, but when I say that I don't mean to offend the other audience members that we have had. What I am trying to say is that some of the topics of this show are quite complex (eg. Russian Revolution) and most of us won't know much about it if anything at all. The other main concept of this show is The Importance of Being Ernest, and myself, having not seen the show, do not know what that is about. However, the play is still and enjoyable and entertaining play even if you do not understand either of these, just that the people that do will catch on to all of the jokes and enjoy it more that the other members of the audience. Personally I think that a poster for a production should have some kind of blurb on it to give you an idea what it is about. I don't mean something like "A Comedy". That is all that most of the blurbs have, so it says that if you like comedy you will probably enjoy the show. But if it says something like, "What happens when you confuse Ernest with Russian Revolution" with the comedy, people actually get an idea of what it is about. But no matter what, the play is still enjoyable whether or not you have the knowledge of the concepts.

Cheers
