        This is not edgy, innovative, interesting theatre. Go to an arts centre in a major city on a weeknight and you'll see more provocative stuff

    How narrow is their artistic scope? How could they be so disconnected from actual contemporary theatre?

      This is a particular gripe I always have with Shakespeare. He's good but don't pretend that a new production is original or edgy.
