Free websites, free blogs, free entertainment, even! The net is a "free-empowering" phenomenon.
You can even download movies for free.
If someone requests a script and I send it to him, there's nothing to prevent him from sending it on to all his friends. I'd go crazy trying to find out who's performed which play and where.
Is this the end of theatre?
I think it's the beginning of a new era in theatre.
The more we get online, the more we feel a need to connect for real. No entertainment can be more real than a theatrical performance. Live actors, on stage, right in front of us. No two performances ever alike! You can even meet the actors, for real, after the performance!
I think the net empowers live theatre even more than patrons did in Shakespearean times.
