Something New?!
Mon, 8 Oct 2001, 04:04 pmTheatre today needs something new, its all good going to a show, drinking your complimentary sherry, sitting down for a few hours to watch what may be a stunning piece of theatre then going home; but what about outside the auditorium? Or even inside it, the show doesn't have to start at curtain up and end at curtain down does it? Suggestions/Comments?

Tue, 9 Oct 2001, 07:16 pmAlong my many travels over the world wide web I have come across a few scripts which are a play within a play.
In one particular one (which I have the file on my PC if anyone wants it) has some foreplay (if you'll excuse the term) that is acted out prior to the show to explain what certain people are doing. I think it also has audience involvment, and, sure, it may not be much but it gets the audience, well, involved.
Another suggestion is where you can spend the evening after the show with the players, but I guess that happens at many theatres such as Roleystone where we all come out and talk to people virtually straight after the show.
A lot of the time it isn't about providing it, the audience has to want it to get it.
