Dear Mr Anthoney,
I know that in some countries in Europe your “show” would be played in big theatres, and all the tickets would be sold months in advance. I know it because it is about understanding and appreciation of real art, which is about our expression of beauty and sorts and shades of creation. To put it simply, art should make us be in awe of its beauty, and/or inspire us to think and feel beyond our imaginations. And I was transcended yesterday into another world of imaginative reality, which, so clearly based on historical connotations, was more and more looking like an intelligent insight into our modern civilisation.
Albeit, I am afraid that to recognise the value of your art a certain level of knowledge, wisdom and maturity is essential. Correspondingly, not everyone can understand the beauty of the Cauchy-Riemann differential equation without intrinsic knowledge of complex analysis. How can an ordinary man see that a function satisfying the Cauchy-Riemann equations with a nonzero derivative preserve the angles between curves and the plane? However there are some people who can do it. Therefore, I was so grateful that you and your colleagues still believed that it was worthwhile to deliver clever entertainment.
After the show we were asking ourselves what was wrong with people in Adelaide? How could such a pearl be ignored by more than one million people? Are intelligence, wisdom and professionalism not fashionable enough? I hope you will not stop doing what nobody else is doing in such a magical way.
Yours sincerely,
Leszek Pilch

Your next show should be an Ellis re-write of an unacted play drafted by a very young Malcolm Turnbull which shows that it was Leibniz and not Newton who discovered differential calculus. Four geniuses on one night.
Popular tastes Bob.
You can’t write for the elites.
They don’t fill seats.
Larry Pickering is writing a rip snorter of a serial at the moment that has the right wing plebs like me packing them into the rafters.
Its the story of a young and naive redhead who fell in love with a union con man who figured out a way to make a fast buck. It has everything going for it. Sex. Power. Greed. Politics and Betrayal.
Shakespearean stuff by the bucket load.
Get with it Bob.
Burn your quill and pick up an ipad.
“Art” requires imagination from both the creator and its audience, there’s your problem Frank.
WH Auden said: The interests of a writer and the interests of his readers are never the same and if,on occasion,they happen to coinside this is a lucky accident.
I thought that Adelaide was the most cultured place in Oz, maybe it is just stuffy…
You have judged a play you have not seen and are banned for life.
Get out my sight, you puffed-up Tory mediocrity.
The play and film will make tens of millions.
Fuck you and good-bye.
Bob, I’ve just sent you my payment for a share in the film.
Create something beautiful.
“Create something beautiful”(And Profitable), but by all means beautiful (and profitable).
As backup I’m working on “De Vere in Woking”
Profitable would certainly be nice, but if not, who cares, Australia needs good films.
Thank you so much.
Bob, take the elitism out of this review and it sounds like you’ve written an interesting play.
Look forward to it’s Sydney shows. Have you any dates scheduled?
