but has sense of the nowwith it's themes that are as relevent today as they were when it was first performed. Your choice of film adaptation is a badly written, originally poorly directed piece of sensational cinema that is easily forgotten and will not last the test of time.

Thats only your opinion, which, of course, you are entitled toPersonally, however, I love it. As do many of the people who want to work on it. And at the end of the day, we aren't doing this to make some bold artistic statement, we're doing it for fun. We are still an amateur society, no-one involved gets paid any money, although we do have a much larger budget to work with than any other amateur dramatics society, owing to the fact that any money we make profit (usually anything between £100 - £500) goes straight back into the society and is used to budget the next terms plays. The film being ill conceived is completely irrelevant. We aren't looking to revolutionise the way people think about theatre, nor are we trying to deliver a piece that has some sort of moral or social commentary. We're looking to entertain people for 90 minutes. And I've picked a film that a large number of people find entertaining. I don't see a problem with that.
