The theory underpinning this whole debacle in risking massive failure is it is the best way to create something really fucking awesome.

in a nutshell we hope to slowly, methodically, develop a reputation for creating work that takes risks. sometimes this will be successful, sometimes it will fail. it is our hope that over time people will come to see how we succeeded or failed at achieving difficult tasks this time around.

we certainly haven’t reached that level of notoriety yet, and reviews still play a big part in determining the size of our houses, but eventually, from an economic standpoint, that is how we hope to fail massively.

Have you got the economic model figured out on that one? Honest question.

@ Simpleposie: really well, thanks for asking.

Okay, let's have a show of hands. What makes you wanna clamour for a theatre seat the most: 1) here-&-now topicality? or 2) quirky flights of fancy?

You have been conspicuously absent as of late. Have you seen any shows you would like to address?
