Theatre Thoughts

Is the theatre a thriving power-house of the expressive arts or is it a floundering irrelevant relic of the past? Is it being sidetracked by the stage take-over by burgeoning stand up comedy?  Is it in danger of becoming a political football?  How do audiences shape the theatre?  …   and the theatre shape audiences? What is happening to the West End?  What’s in a name?  What irritates you most in the theatre?

Mark Aspen takes a look at these and other questions in his Theatre Thoughts blogs, writing to stimulate, to elicit comment and, he hopes, to entertain.
