#with a fair degree of freedom to recontextualize and review directorial choices
Text
kinda loathe the way broadway (and the west end as well) handles long running shows.
#dear diary#maybe peter brook is still right about the deadly theatre#or maybe i’ve spent too much time thinking about canadian theatre industry#and the ability to revise and re imagine plays in new places#nationally and internationally#due to the lack of one central location that hosts the central corporate theatre industry complex#like sure a show getting it’s premier at like theatre passé murae or like#tarragon theatre or even#if you want something in the west theatre calgary or the belfry#then that’s a big deal and will get you recognition#but that means getting to re-produce a show in other places#with a fair degree of freedom to recontextualize and review directorial choices#between remounting#where as one continuous run on broadway for +5 years seems to generate very little room to rework a piece#and while i do appreciate being able to go see something with the original direction#with broadway sometimes becoming the de facto way to get major and i mean major#recognition in the american theatre context soemtimes feels frustrating#just because there are a lot of shows that could have to many interpretations and directors#but it seems to hard to get a really big realm of influence unless it’s on broadway
