But to the topic. An interesting move for ER and the OV. Kryz1000, the references you make are to British companies but their best work has always fed off global figures; Littlewood and Brecht, Brook and Artaud etc. It's the same now, Icke and Van Hove, Emma Rice and Staniewski (and by extension, Bakhtin, folk culture and the carnivalesque), the debt we pay to European theatre is huge, partly because we remain more conservative than the continent and slow to pick up on the new. for new British young companies, I'd suggest Barrel Organ and the Irish company Dead Centre as being interesting developments, cross media, Kate Tempest is a force of nature (pun intended) To be honest, nothing is ever new, it is just work created by newer, younger people. "Nothing is ever new". Now - that's either very depressing or a challenge! And don't get me started on Kate Tempest..... |

Why do lots of people on here have such a thing against Emma Rice? I quite like her directing style and although we all know she was not the best choice for the globe she did different things and gor me hopefully others into different style theatre. I think this show sounds interesting and a movie glad Emma Rice has more things planned.

Oh **** off Emma Rice.
You've already ruined my favourite musical, so you have to ruin my favourite theatre too?
