We had to "can" them on the grounds of cost as said because we deliberately tried to keep the entrance fee as low as possible (£2, a quid of which went to Ticketweb) - ideally we would have liked not to charge anything, but with only 50 seats, we had to prevent people turning up without booking and being unable to get in. But, on that basis, we had to sell out to even cover the electricity bill for the evening. And in addition our Sunday/Monday shows were forfeiting a performance to make space for the forum which meant they were often failing to break even too. We also had real trouble getting the guests early enough to publicise the forums properly. We'd love to do something in the same style that doesn't mean that we lose a fortune, but also isn't just an imitation of the discussions that the funded theatres can do so much better!

As far as I'm aware, no one actually speaking or me got paid anything. Maybe Neil was just fobbing me off with the first excuse that came to mind :-)Andrew Haydonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568061302451610140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481691725314537521.post-20679548558197384852008-03-31T18:52:00.000+02:002008-03-31T18:52:00.000+02:00Cost?I did one and never saw a red cent.Cost?<BR/>I did one and never saw a red cent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481691725314537521.post-52203200837957099772008-03-31T14:08:00.000+02:002008-03-31T14:08:00.000+02:00Finborough Forums got canned by Neil (artistic dir...Finborough Forums got canned by Neil (artistic director) on the grounds of cost. A pity, but it's saved me a hell of a lot of (unpaid) work.
