New poll topic: Is Australian theatre dying?...How do you feel about producing more Australian work?



Adapted from a reader suggestion. Two items I left off the bottom of the options list, but reproduce here for his benefit...

If someone like Jeremy Constable was going to open a theatre company in Ballarat in 2006 then I would contact him on Jez_Tazdevil_13@hotmail.com and have words that are good, with him.

This is not an advertising poll Jeremy, please refrain from such attempts to make yourself known, even if you do graduate a bachelor of arts next year and exist for comic relief.

Controversial issue, this one. An alarming number of practitioners who seem to have no faith in resuscitation. The first ingredient in a self-fulfilling prophecy..?
