London Theatre Listing? If Only

13 January 2013 - 06:56 PM

London's 'Time Out' (Free paper version) now no longer carries full theatre listings, and the online version is very difficult to negotiate for the info.  It's about to relaunch - the new version is currently in 'beta' and is far worse still!  I find it amazing that there is now no longer a single place to find London Theatre listings ('West End'  'Off West End' & 'Fringe' searchable subheadings would be good).  Am I wrong?  I've written to TIme Out, as they seem to have forgotten that their main usefulness is to give you Listings - a short view of something you didn't know you wanted.  It's only any good for searching for what you already know about and want!  How depressing.  This is really a threat to Fringe Theatre's future I believe.  How are people going to get their shows known about in future.  Are there web/phone apps I don't know about, or should some friendly pressure be brought on Time Out to help the theatre industry, and themselves?  Any thoughts?
