I was just wondering if anyone saw Rock Apocalypse in Padbury which has just finished I think. I really wanted to go and see it but couldn't make it and wanted to know what it was like! Can someone put a review up of it? Thanks! Am

I suggest you put some of your "precious" time into learning to spell, or at least using spell check. If you want to make a valid point about a subject you feel passionately about then the least you can do is use the language correctly. Your credibility vanishes as soon as people think you are illiterate. If you don't give s*** about what people think of your performance then you must be up there for your own self indulgence. Respect is a two-way street respect yourself and the rest follows, if you don't respect yourself then will end up on the scrap heap. You show respect for your chosen art and it will pay dividends, ignore criticism at your peril. As a paying audience member I don't care what troubles you had and neither should I, I paid money to see a performance and I expect a performance, I know I am seeing an amateur production, but I don't expect amateur attitudes. You must do the best you can, asking no quarter and certainly expecting none. If you think these critiques are harsh, then you have a lot to learn about human nature. I hope you learn from this experience and continue with Theatre, new blood is always required. Never ask anybody to excuse a bad production, if you do then how can they respond to a good production. If you want the pat on the back you have to accept the clip round the ear.
