Modern Plays Not Modern Enough?
Thu, 2 Aug 2001, 12:35 pmIn the movie cinema we're seeing the most modern characters, plots, settings, costumes and effects. Why then is it that modern theatrical pieces are either old plays modernised or new plays based in old times. The only times i have seen a completely modern performance is back in high school (the past 5 years) when we were told to make a five minute improvisation. Why then can't we turn the concepts of a modern five minute impro into a full length play (I'm at the moment writing one so i'm not a hypocrite). I'm involved in Roleystone theatre only because of the people there because roleystone does nothing but old tripe. The newest play roleystone has done is COSI in which i was involved. It was a great play but it was the set in the 70's. We are in the new millenium now and it contains more issues and concepts to base a play on than any period in history, so why can we not use them in plays today? Comments?

Fri, 3 Aug 2001, 10:58 amThe fact that you bagged RTC was hardly the point I was making - the fact that you are being inflammatory and rude on a public posting site where you will find that you are in a minority of one interested in reading the tripe that you are coming up with, was the point.
A brief survey of your last few posts reveals (amongst others) the following rubbish:

Jokes? Freedom of speech? Probably. Certainly. I don't care. What is the point, MR Gamble(r) is that this kind of rubbish is fine if you want to email it to Kris, or me, or the Board of Roleystone Theatre, but nobody wants to read your juvenile rubbish on here. I certainly don't, and judging from responses from people such as Kris, ltwynam-perkins, Jonno Beckett, 'the buttel' and others, a lot of other people aren't interested in your opinion either.
The discussions you started were constructive, and sparked lively debate, which is exactly what this page needs - and I think everyone has enjoyed the debates. I just don't understand why you need to go ahead and rip apart a fellow site user (Kris) or mention by name the company you think 'put on old crap' - what's wrong with saying 'plenty of companies put on old crap' rather than demeaning a fine company like Roleystone.
I don't know you, Jason. Thank Christ for small mercies. I consider this conversation closed, and for the benefit of the other site users, please email your responses to me, Mr. Gamble.
Cheers.
