The only thing I gathered from you...Maolsheachlann,<br />The only thing I gathered from your meeting is that there is a level of elitism and snobbery in Irish theatre, which doesn't surprise me. I've seen a few plays here and there - ones that were supposed to be good - and they were all awful, or at least dull at best. The short play you wrote above was more enjoyable to read than those other plays were to watch; and I'm the kind of person who finds it easier to watch than read something.<br /><br />I imagine the people you talked to are cut from the same cloth as the people at RTE who decide what "comedy" shows are going to be put on. It's just their opinions.Antainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-13821612150591827522014-04-04T15:26:53.222-07:002014-04-04T15:26:53.222-07:00Thanks, Father.

Cork Arts Theatre does a '10 plays ten minutes €10' (ten ten minute plays for a tenner) every so often. Why not trim it down a bit and send it on to them and see what they think? http://www.corkartstheatre.com/ The last time I went they had several that were by no means as good as this.Paddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112119118958158131noreply@blogger.com
