Mon, 6 May 2002, 09:24 pmSorry to be hogging the Green Room Gossip board at the moment, but this has been bugging me.
Question -
Why do companies decide to perform Summer-costumed/setting productions in the Winter, and Winter-costumed/setting productions in the summer?
How many plays at the moment are set in a warm setting, with actors in scant clothing I wonder?
And how many actors will consequently suffer the flu and share it around?
I'm sure there must be a few gripes out there at the moment..

Because the summer months are taken up with plays set in winter. Usually in the open air.
Sunday matinee of Hamlet, anyone? "The air bites shrewdly." No it bloody doesn't, it's 32 degrees! Pause while Horatio, blinded by the sun, falls off the edge of the stage.
