Names changed to protect the innocent
Fri, 30 Apr 2004, 10:47 pmThis should possibly go in the 'Theatre Reviews' section, but I can't actually bring myself to write a review about what I saw tonight. It was, in all probability, the single worst piece of theatre I've ever seen. The writing, characters, production, directing, and acting were all atrocious. I actually enjoyed myself immensely, but for all the wrong reasons. Also it helped a fair bit that I was fairly well inebriated.
I don't have the heart to mention any details. But it's certainly made me feel more tolerant to a lot of other shows with only half the talent.

Guys,
seriously....get over it!!
It happens!
Yes...the show must go on (within reasonable limits)...but sometimes for various reasons people have to say "Sorry, I cant do this."
I think I've had to drop out of a production about 3 times in a period of 17 years covering about 40-50 productions...NEVER for anything less than having good reasons for doing so.
The current production I am in has had the lead actor miss two shows due to health reasons...luckily our director was able to step in and...kudos to him...had learnt the lines by the second night.
Theatre, like anything has its ups and downs, and like any field of endeavour...personalities clash...which is what occurred in this case.
But aside from that....I read Gregs postings regarding his departure
and I support his decision...If you are in a situation that is to your detriment on any level, you have only two options..do something about it...or remove yourself from it. Greg chose the latter and it is a valid choice regardless of what others may think.
Stop the slanging match guys...the show is over and in a couple of months no-one will give a damn anyway,they will be getting stressed over the next crisis of the next show.
Sometimes I think some shows should never open in the first place...but remember...we learn more from our failures than our successes.
I am sorry it was such an unpleasant experience for both of you but lets
stop playing the blame game, eh?
All the best
Robert. :-)
