Fri, 1 Dec 2000, 08:21 pmClaire Hopper showed with her talented cast what the best of theatre arts could bring to the small stage. For 45 minutes the cast of 5 worked tirelessly to give new ideas and excellent interpretation an airing at the Blue Room.
A minor suggestion, try and pair a short production like this with another short show - such as the 'Seagull' that followed or another locally penned comedy

RE: cracked
Congratulations Claire HOOPER and cast/crew! I was very impressed with the performance, the images and high energy of the cast! (Not to mention, I had a good laugh) I'm glad I was able to squeeze in that night, but wish I'd thought of picking up a programme! (There looked like some good potential TIE actors onstage)
Not that I paid full price, but I do think $18.00 was a bit much for a 45 minute show - I agree with Gordon's suggestion of perhaps making very short performances a double bill. However, that would be my only gripe. Well done, everyone!

Thanks!
RE ticket prices:
Aaaah - what's to be done about the high price of Perth theatre?!
I totally agree that $18 is steep for under an hour of entertainment, but it is the Blue Room management's recommended price. I suppose it would be a very good idea if the 8pm and 9.30pm shows teamed up to split the $18 between them.
Next time....

RE: Theatre Prices
The argument is that if the price looks too low then the public expectation will be that the show will be pretty shonky.
Having said that I am an admirer of $10 tickets because it does away with all the small change.
As for Cracked it was worth every cent of the $18 punters put out - and it did very good business so I suppose the market can bear it.
AND at the Blue Room it is going DIRECTLY to a good cause: hard working theatre practicioners and that's a good charity! I wonder whether it's tax deductable?
