Our First Letter Of Complaint!

MESSAGE FROM SPEARSHAKER CONTACT FORM:

From: Joanne Halliday

I recently came to see your production of MSND - I am a Drama advisor for Wirral Educ' Auth' and I felt very angry that you considered the production to be worthy of presentation. At best it was similar to work expected of Year 7 and 8 students in High School, the direction was amateur and the acting very poor.

I recognise that the Fringe is an important venue for new acts however I do feel that there should be a recognition of standards required and your piece fell very short.

On the evening we left with a member of the press who held the same feelings as us and did say that you had produced a piece of ppor theatre and that audiences couldn't be expected to sit through it.

I would be very interested in your justification and your view on the piece.
