CA = Catherine Allen (Interviewer)
B = Audience member

CA: What is it that brings you here today, out of…

B: Well this is a father’s day gift from my son 

CA: Ahhh…

B: It’s not that we’re unfamiliar with the theatre, because we’ve been here previously, but he knows my interest and thought it would be a suitable present. 

CA: Yes… Have you seen much theatre like this in the open air?

B: Yes. Yes erm well not, not in the last two years. We’ve been to events in Warwick castle and also around Devon where we had holiday caravanned for a while. But yes I do enjoy this type of theatre, it’s far more improvised. 

CA: Yes, so do you think it makes quite a big difference to the feeling of theatre itself, rather than being in a building?

B: Yes, you’re quite right although some of the intimate theatres, they erm, we’re very fond of the small theatres around Coventry. Bedworth for example has two very small theatres, where the audience is perhaps not more than fifty. They are used by travelling groups. Some of their plays are magnificent. You wouldn’t believe that such a subject could be put on in virtually a room and that sort of thing is very interesting, I like that.
