You'd be surprised at how the phones at Barking Gecko have been running hot with inquiries from worried parents as to whether His Majesty really will go the full monty in front of their 5 year olds...! (The answer is a kind of obvious no...but obviously not THAT obvious, hence the inquiries!)
I guess this says something about how the public perceive current moral standards in theatre, even for kids....and the poll question (not one of mine, by the way) is an interesting one because most of us as practitioners probably abhor the idea of censorship...but perhaps the viewers are entitled to be forewarned by some type of standards classification or regulation..?
And by the way Grant, I've had a few complaints that some votes have not been registered by the poll engine....are you able to check if this is a bug?
Cheers
