Short and Sweet results

The results from the second week at the Seymour are in, and Faithless came second in the Judges voting (by 1 vote!) and third in the People's Choice - it was the only play to place in both categories, which is how I prefer to look at it.

Taking the sheen off the results is my dislike of the play that won the Judges vote - "Woman from the Desert". I didn't think it was even a real play (more of a hastily improvised performance piece) but I've since found it was performed last year so I should put my prejudices aside - obviously there are things in it that I'm just not seeing. I'll admit the performances were strong, but I couldn't see what the point of it was.

Oh well. One down, and one to go (tech run tonight).

Well done on the good results. It's nice to feel that people notice what you do.

We was robbed. The winner was shit.....


that sort of crap gives theatre a bad name. And it wasn't by Barrie Kosky....



(Disclosure: I am married to one of the writers of the play, and the writer of this blog. But that doesn't stop me from being indignant)
