New Poll - Half baked

New poll, prompted by a recent controversial one-man show where the actor didn't really know his lines, almost requiring more prompts than not. Also, thinking back to a show last year that copped a lot of flac for delaying the opening and recasting the lead players rather than presenting an unready show.

If your production is not quite ready by opening night, should it still go ahead, regardless?



The Poll-tergeist.

At the risk of being labelled negative, can i suggest that the current poll is, of itself, half baked.

If a play is at such a poor stage of preparation that it needs to be pulled on opening night, it should have been noticed by someone at least three weeks prior! I, for one, would hate to stand at the box office and tell our audiences that they have come out on a wet night for nothing!!

Besides that, I cannot conceive that a company would allow such a situation to develop, and therefore, to me, the poll makes no sense
