Phil,

The last time we were in South Korea, Squonk Opera deleted some of their 
slapstick stuff because they were worried about the cultural 
differences; we didn't want to offend anybody. But, as I saw some of the 
other shows, I realized that Koreans were very warm & responsive. But, 
it was too late for us to revise our show. If it's funny, it's funny. We 
made the same mistake at the Fringe Fest in Edinburgh, Scotland. And 
that was a primo place to do slapstick.

When our show started in Uijeongbu, South Korea four years ago, the 
audience hooted & hollered as the show began. We were STUNNED! It was 
the best audience we ever had. Seriously!

And the sound crew was the best I EVER had anywhere. Every time I asked 
my interpreter to ask the sound crew to do something, they already did 
it before the interpreter said a word. They saw my ears perk up & 
corrected the situation before they were asked. It doesn't get much 
better than that.
