Adam Pottle Thought #7

TRANSCRIPT: Thought number 7. As I become more involved in the theatre I have noticed that there is little overlap between the literary community and the theatre community. I seldom see poets and novelists attend plays and I don't often see playwrights at book launches or public readings. I find this situation strange. Have these artists become ensconced in echo chambers that reflect their own values back at them? Do they simply want more of what they are familiar with? Or do they want new work as long as it is within their chosen medium?
