Flashbacks to the terror of watching the ‘Invasion of the Bodysnatchers’ remake as a kid…

Full disclosure.
I do make family shows.
I don’t get direct funding.
(I’ve tried.)
I just can’t do the fake messaging that people tell me they bolt on to get over the funding application line. It makes me fold personally.
Good luck to them - we all need work!
Where is the space for pure joy?

If that is the case - where did that come from?
I’m aware of the great TIE revolution of the late 20th century but why is it all pervasive?

Is the a Reading for Pleasure, ie Theatre for Pleasure message needed?
Are we excluding people from the world of live theatre and culture because of it?

and increasingly social media, for a good while. I’m hoping to hear where the poetry comes from and what is the fuel that drive the engine.
And a poem or two as well.
