I just posted a blog at the Guardian. Topic: Why are we so lame when it comes to history plays and revivals of classics? Go, read, comment, and repeat. Tease:
The problem is three-pronged: we aren't writing historical plays, we
aren't finding imaginative ways to stage our classics, and we rarely go
beyond costume drama when handling the classics of other cultures. In
the 2008-09 season,
there were 18 play revivals; 11 of these were staged by English
directors and one (Exit the King) by an Australian, Neil Armfield.
Clearly, when a producer wants to do Godot or Hedda, they assume only a
Brit can understand the material properly.

I appreciate your help. You really helped me.
