Reviews of Temporo (an ARENA production)
Mon, 12 Apr 2004, 02:46 pmHi all,
Firstly I'm not the reviewer, just the message bearer ...
A review of ARENA's "Temporo" was posted(1) by Touchstone over in the Billboard Bulletins forum. Rather than copy & paste the whole thing here, I thought it'd be better for you to go and look in the Billboard forum. =)
Another review was put up(2) on the IndiePerth website, which was somewhat less glowing. They also shredded Blak Yak's "Red Dwarf II: Kryten" so our (sincere) consolations go to them as well as to ourselves!
And in blatant self-promotion of our website, an easy way to get to all of these reviews is to visit www.arenaentertainment.com.au and click on the "Reviews & Testimonials" page.
Cheers,
Andrew S

I will try & explain what I was getting at! It Was that historically the worst review/crit any production can ever get - is a good one!
In most cases when a productions promotes it self as being ‘acclaimed by the critics!’ What is actually meant, is the critics acclaimed it was crap!
The only thing any critique will ever reflect, if you take advantage, is added value to Theatre.
Most punters, after reading a review, will only ever remember the shows name & rarely relate accurately to the content of any crit.
So whatÂ’s any review/crit worth?
To the production - Publicity! To the performers - Ego! To the theatre - Box Office!
By the way Craig - I don’t even get to taste the ‘Red’ these days, as it comes in a plastic bag with a needle & tubes!
Chookas (may you always play to full houses)
