I can't for one minute pretend that I'm qualified in any way to review theatre productions, however, what I can say, is that the most recent productions from Playlovers ('Eurobeat') and the current production of 'The Vagina Monologues'are a credit to the Playlovers team. I'd heard a bit about the Monoluges before now, but here I was seeing it for the first time. I went along expecting a comedy, in the style of 'Menopause the musical', of course, this play has much more. One minute funny, the next sombre, and thought provoking (especially for we mere-males). The cast were superb, in delivering, what in truth, is a potentially difficult subject matter (ha!)Great performance ladies. Be proud! The healthy audiences are richly deserved. cheers Johnny Grim A lad in sane productions

Richard, I didn't know you

Richard, I didn't know you were a member. At the time of my posting, I looked at your post, and thought it wasn't a registered person. My apologies. Yes, there is only a number of people who regularly post; but you will find that it is extremely difficult to encourage participation on any web site, no matter how popular or informative it is. The idea of this site is to promote theatre, and if you do not like the slagging on the site, then do what nobody else is doing: participate and moderate the posts. If you want to have more informative posts, then lead by example. I agree with you entirely, but as you may have seen of late, the admin has had his hands full just trying to keep the site going. He probably doesn't have time to moderate every single thread and post himself. It's up to us to encourage better participation from the community.
