New Poll - Half baked
Wed, 9 July 2003, 02:47 amNew 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?

...Given that so far the poll shows 3 to 1 in favour of sticking to schedule regardless of whether the show is ready, is this saying something about our standards of theatre?
If this is because 'getting revenue' is more important....isn't this just a band-aid solution? Surely improving the quality will increase attendence & revenue in the long run?
Interesting.
