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.

EMAILNOTICES>noWhat you say is valid of course but having to put up with it constantly wears you down and intimidates you into submission. We can't be that strong all the time and sometimes you just can't win so you give up and fade away instead.
