Last night I attended Out of Joint's production of The Remains of the Day at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford. A Guardian review of the show is available here. I pretty much agree with everything it says - including the 4-star rating. In other words, it is a show well worth anybody's ticket money. Why then, was the theatre only about half full on a Friday night?
This is a sad state of affairs when a town the size of Guildford cannot fill a relatively small theatre for and really good production of a thought-provoking play. Come on Guildford citizens - time to buck up your ideas, open your minds and support your local arts - including the theatre. If they are not used they will disappear to the detriment of cultural life for all.
And while I'm about it here's a shout for Guildford Shakespeare Company's up-coming Will's Birthday Bash.
