New Poll - Theatre Ratings

I don't think so much a "rating" as clear notification on publicity materials that there is "adult content" or whatever. Knowing some of the synopsis of the play doesn't always tell you if it contains scenes you'd prefer not to take your mother-in-law to see (if you indeed have an idea what it's about). So, maybe not a "G" or "MA" rating more a "V", "L" or "A" kind of thing. Movie ratings don't always work anyway. Anastasia was a G-rating when it came out I believe, but how scary was that stuff for little kids?? I think it's since been changed to PG.

Yes, there are people who couldn't care less, but there are also a whole bunch who love theatre, but within their own parameters. I know part of the reason we actors do our thing is to challenge the way people see themselves and their society, once again, some people don't want a challenge, so we should respect that.

Hence, I didn't vote, as the voting was a bit too black/white, and this is much more of an electric blue (who needs grey?).
