I went and saw an Australian Play Touch Silk at Chester Street Theatre and I must say it is the worst play I have ever seen. one actresss kept forgetting her lines and you could see her searching another was lost in her accent it was terrible to sit through my friends and I had to leave at Inter.

Has any one else ever been to a bad play

One of that ilk was entered in the ITA State (One Act) Drama Festival a few years ago, but it crammed the lot into 45 minutes! The bit I remember is the blue flashing light on the police car.
Why _will_ local amateur playwrights insist on directing their own plays? Possibly to ensure that not one precious word is cut I suspect!

But my worst ever play was a professional production of a locally written (Perth) play, some years ago - can't remember the name (think I've blocked it out) - had to to with Local Government & involved, not to their credit, a number of well known Perth actors. It was a baseline reference point around the traps for quite some time. Have to see if I can find the programme for the details.
