Expectation

Expectation is an incredible force and dynamic.

The director will have expectations of the actors, the play, the rehearsal process, the theatre, the production team. 

The actors will have expectations of the other actors, themselves, the director, the costumes, the set, the production, the audience.

The theatre will have expectations for the production and its artistic and financial 'success'.

The audience will have an expectation based on a combination of previous theatre experiences and awareness / knowledge of the material.

The children will perhaps have a different expectation than their adults.

How can you be aware of 15,000+ different expectations?

Expectation is a very complicated and convoluted force and dynamic.

It will sometimes be fulfilled and sometimes arrested.

Our production of Beauty and the Beast does not have a furry Beast - it is not Disney - but it is, and will be: original, dynamic and beautiful...
