EMAILNOTICES>noWhy is there so much politics and bitchiness behind the scenes? You can deny it all you want and go on about the camaraderie, of which there can be, but I know of people who are no longer involved in theatre because of this sort of rubbish, driven underground, too scared to audition, too scared to even go see a show because of some of the carry-ons of the past, preferring to avoid these people instead. It's not just one theatre, it happens at them all.

I bet you're sick to death of all these theories, and you are now regretting your course of action.:-PIt is the nature of the beast. Or should that be the Nature of the Bitch?Look closely at those involved- they all tap-dance/recite soliloquies/sing "Candide" when the fridge door opens at night. They launch into their party-pieces (party or no) at the drop of a well-placed fart. Theatre is the place extroverts hang out to appear "normal"!!!If (as I suspect) you have been the unwitting victim of some particularly villainous bitchery, remember: revenge is sweetest served up cold, And our chef today is Karma.And should that fail, bitch right back: it's lots of cruel fun.You think thespians are bitchy:- try critics!I remain yours,Violently CruelMr Raoul
