Current issues affecting theatre in Australia

Personally, I have found that there is a general Apathy (or is that resigned acceptance) that this is as good as it gets. There are a select few it would seem that would strive for more, bigger, better and they happen to make a big noise about, they can be quickly cut-down, stifled or booed out of town by the rest taking a long breather in the mud.

It is something I feel is reflected across not just Theatre but all forms of Endeavour commonly called the "Tall Poppy Syndrome". Very few are prepared to stick their head out in-case it gets chopped off.

My thoughts.
