Lots of wise words in this interview with @sarahbrigham.bsky.social on the relevance of The Great Gatsby to current life, on politics & putting it on stage at @pitlochryft.bsky.social.
So many themes we could pick up on. I think @elizabethnewman.bsky.social’s adaptation was excellent.

What do we do about regional theatre reviewing? We need reviewers who understand and represent our audiences who will see work of all scales and go on a critical journey with us. Who will give the emerging company in the studio a chance as much as a big show in the main house.
