search one story if i may – i was house manager of bristol hippodrome in the late 1970s when the old vic company brought the scottish play with peter o’toole in the title role, and brian blessed famously doused in a bucket of blood as a very larger than life ghosts. the reviews nationally were so so so awful, and the surrounding press so bad, that everyone in bristol knew about the show weeks before it arrived in town. and they booked in their thousands because they couldn’t believe it was as bad as the critics said. it was packed, and i stood each night as an audience went in expectant of something special/unusual/extraordinary, and then i stood as they walked out silent/stunned/bemused…with one shared comment…the critics were right, we should have believed them
