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.

Critics and press departments insist that everything is lovely in the garden : but those prize winning blooms are cut flowers. the beds are empty, the bulbs rotting, the soil no longer nourishes. The blooms will soon go off, and there will be nothing with which to replace them.

The Australian Theatre's glories, so sauvely vaunted by statisticians and ministers and tourism boards are built on threefold foundation : training, experience, tradition. Each of these is rapidly being eroded. Without each one the theatre will, in every important sense, die.

nuff said. excuse the plant analogy.
