performance nights
Thu, 11 Oct 2012, 04:32 pmUntil recently, most shows were on every week night except Monday. Now the vast majority are only on Thursday (sometimes), Friday and Saturday nights for two weeks.
With the peaks and troughs of productions, when several plays will open on the same night and then nothing for weeks, this means that one has to decide which shows to see, and so recently I have missed a couple of plays to which I was really looking forward.
Performance Nights
Fri, 12 Oct 2012, 11:05 amI have been in very few shows that have played more than 4 nights in the week, and rarely Monday or Tuesday
(there is a very concrete reason why cinemas make Tuesday their cheap day, its the only way they get anyone in on a tuesday)
The reason a number of clubs chose to perform on wednesday not thursday is because of late night shopping, but not because of the audience. Performing wednesday not thursday allowed those who worked retail to do a show without having to take time off work.
