Some vigorous writing going on over at the Hamilton, Ontario-based Gypsy Roar theatre blog. Especially in a recent post called What makes a good theatre piece?
A sample:
“I like watching shows that mean something. I like a message. I like a moral. I like a political view point. I want a reflection of the society I am living in – yes even if it’s a timeless classic that can be manipulated into today’s current events, bring it on. I’m not too interested in sappy content about seduction or how to seduce, or talking heads over a pot of tea. I like raw, poignant, gritty, in your face, here-I-am-here-is-reality kind of theatre. I don’t mind my Ps and Qs in theatre since I don’t mind them in my day to day being.”
Drop by Gypsy Roar for a read if you get a chance.
