Talk:Theatrical constraints

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have no problem with the first sentence of this article.

But the second sentence loses me completely, and the balance of the article seems to be concentrated on something which, even if accurate would be a footnote, rather than a keynote of the concept "theatrical constraint". Given the somewhat confusing structuring of the article (I am ready to accept the particular facts as accurate), I think it needs not just clarifying, but establishing context and a reasonable perspective as to the relative significanse of the various threads therein. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick

The tenor seemed to be that French monopoly/censorship laws caused theatre to develop in unusual ways in France, in order to dodge the claims. This probably belongs under Comédie Française if and when that article gets written. It isn't wholly irrelevant to the topic; I did add a mention of the Dogme 95 group, which is voluntarily using similar constraints to try to make movies. An article like this may well be doomed to be a collection of rather different bits. -- IHCOYC 18:24, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)
