Sorry to be hogging the Green Room Gossip board at the moment, but this has been bugging me.

Question -
Why do companies decide to perform Summer-costumed/setting productions in the Winter, and Winter-costumed/setting productions in the summer?

How many plays at the moment are set in a warm setting, with actors in scant clothing I wonder?

And how many actors will consequently suffer the flu and share it around?

I'm sure there must be a few gripes out there at the moment..

Trying to catch up to me, are you?

Ours is one. Touring some of the coldest old theatres in central VIC while pretending to be frolicking in a Perth summer is an acting achievement highly overlooked.

Oh Gawd. And by the time we DO get to Perth it'll be mid June...
