I was just thinking about theatre artists who go on and on about "theatre" as if it justifies itself by... well, by being theatre. This was not a response to the RAT list, but to a party I was at the other night. A room full of theatre artists talking only about theatre, as if it existed in a vacuum. Let's pretend your not dumb (since we seem to agree), but that you don't get invited to these kinds of parties. Lucky you. R.
