Just a thought...
Sat, 11 Sept 1999, 02:29 pmEMAILNOTICES>noHas anyone actually thought that the reason Effie Crump closed and is not being bailed out is because their productions are not all that good? Every so often one works but the rest... they might be employing actors and local scripts but if the production is up to shite, then why bother?
Re: Just a thought... think again
Tue, 14 Sept 1999, 11:09 pmIf we are talking about reviews in the mainstream papers, I would suggest that Effie's received more positive reviews than any other West Australian companies.There has been a tendency to slam the local productions over the years.In any case, as a reviewer myself, I often question whether some of my colleagues have seen the show.I remember a case where the review must have been done at the preview as the review appeared in the 'next day's' paper (which would have hit the streets before the show ended). As they reviewed the show before opening night...is it a fair review ? (This wasn't Effie's, but is a quick example of why you need to be careful.)Kim
