in 2018 I would love theatre to be less self righteous and tending towards the worthy. I miss the wildness and non conformist attitude that made me love it.Everything today in funded theatre seems to be education based or discovering those who maybe happy without. Soon we will see a pool of mediocrity as the righteous cast their web.
cant imagine today some of the radical stuff of the past....but maybe no need. For me going to theatre was best away from school,from organised structures.....lots to learn from the gig and the non patronising attitude. I think I felt it all going horribly wrong when I sat in an audience scribbling their notes for school and seeing awful casting but spreading the net.
I guess time for me to consider other forms.....sad but this wash of bland and PC structures have made it so much less compulsive. The word excellence is rarely used these days...shout me down and I know you will but I long for a kind of theatre not governed by correctness but by a need to scream out.
have a great new year everyone.
