A Time to Critique?
Thu, 24 Feb 2000, 04:12 pmYou know what I think is a real pity? Well I'll tell you;
I think the "reviews" section of this site could be the most important one of all, but it never seems to be used! As community organisations without huge budgets we rely on word of mouth to get people to our plays, surely we can do each other the service of letting the world know if we've seen something really good!
Of course we would need to have an honor system whereby we save the promotion of our own play for pages like this one (GO SEE THE LAST SUPPER AT BLAKYAK< DON RUSSELL CENTER< MURDOCH RD THORNLIE!!) Ahem, excuse me. But it's about time we started acknowledging each others acheivements.
If you loved it let us know. If you hated it, well bear in mind that creative people can often be incredibley thin skinned and choose your words carefully.
Viva la review!!

I must say I tend to dissagree with Leah's request for reviews. Theatre reviewers are conceited and arogant people who feel that their personal opinion is worthy of swaying other people's decisions in reguards to the "to see or not to see" question. How dare someone, especially a total stranger, suggest that simply because they did not appreciate a production, I will not. Like or dislike of anything artistic is purely subjective and everyoine should make up their own minds via first hand experience.
Never a reviewer,
