Yeah .. you're probably right (: I'm still in a funny old mood since the
Oscars - couldn't believe that `Shakespeare in Love' won best picture, it
almost made up for Cate not getting Best Actress (I have rarely been more
excited than the year when Geoffrey Rush won).

There's a lot of bad theatre out there. Especially commercial theatre. My
advice is to try the fringe. There's a lot of bad theatre there too but you
don't pay as much (:
