cabaret style seating
Thu, 13 Oct 2011, 07:45 amI was looking forward to seeing ‘Educating Rita’ at the Koorliny Centre, until I went to book on-line and found out the seating arrangements. It is cabaret style, which I don’t like under any circumstances. Koorliny had this for their recent short plays season, which wasn’t too bad, but for a proper full length, quality play what has possessed the organisers to have the whole audience sitting sideways to the stage? About a third will also have their backs to the actors.
A table in the centre of the chairs usually means that there will be drinks clinking, packets of crisps crackling away and not to mention other home prepared goodies that will stink the place out.
Sorry but I think I may very regrettably give this show a miss.
I agree having worked both
