Is real theatre dead? I'm beginning to believe it's damn close. Besides the obvious economic difficulties, is there even an interested audience? If there really is a 'theatre-going crowd', I think it's an upper class, white, elderly audience who wants nothing other than a pleasurable spectacle. Anything that challenges them or requires them to think is swiftly avoided.
