Joy and fascination
I’ve enjoyed very much reading two articles about the theater. They have nothing in common beyond the joy and fascination inside me. The first is all about the way a really bad show made it to the West End. Behind the Iron Mask has been panned and heckled, but the story involves budgets, egos and the more mundane realities of needing work and needing to fill dark spaces. A great read, in the both the schadenfreude and making-of ways. We wish we could raise 500,000 pounds, dollars, or anythings.
On the truly positive side of things, the Minnesota Fringe Festival has ended well this year, and the numbers and anecdotes are all positive. They “had more sold-out performances than ever” and “the audiences were also spread out better.” We like to hear of MFF’s success.
