Theatricality and bold visuals can’t sustain an uninformed audience.

Thanks Kate! I received an email from Mr Anthony Skuse also correcting me on that – and I appreciate the diligence! I stand corrected.

Just a quick correction to your assumption that Schimmelpfennig’s The Woman Before has not been produced by a main stage Australian company prior to the STC’s upcoming production. Queensland Theatre Company presented The Woman Before in its Season 2006.

Re: The desire is to show excess – Perhaps it’s a Sydney specific thing, because it isn’t happening in Adelaide from what I’ve been seeing. Small and simple design, lots of representational elements, some with almost no set and just using the space, seemed to be the go in 2010 here. (Most probably at least some what related to small budgets: if they had more opportunity would creative teams go bigger?) I got to the point where I was craving a huge production design, until I saw the most sublime (deceptively) simple set in a play called Ruby Bruise and realised how much I love these things done small correctly.
