Who will be the first brave producer to give out free cast lists?

REVIEW: CONSTELLATIONS (Bread and Roses Theatre) ★★
Constellations is a phenomenal play and having missed it in the West End, I have been desperate to see a staged production for a while. However, there is perhaps a reason as to why it is performed so infrequently, as it needs to be cast perfectly or it may perhaps be set up to fail. […]
