I could not disagree more, I loved it, I am a huge supporter of modern innovative theatre, Puchdrunk, Wild Works, Kneehigh and many more, this was a brave attempt to make Brecht accessible and exciting and for me it worked, Fiona Shaw was brilliant, compelling and emotionally moving, the set was great and the band was the right mix of rough and timeless, theatre has to develop in multi media direction and yet keep whatever the message is, be it the evils of war the powerlessness of the masses, or anything else intact, it seems to me that theaatre is in a transitional state and this was a brave attempt along kneehigh lines to achieve something really interesting.

Well, it hasn't improved as of 17th October – at least the first half hasn't – didn't waste my life on the second. Truly dire
