It all started ever so nicely nicely. The first few companies hitting the royal mile and passing out flyers and posters. There used to be a time when you would be careful not to cover somebody elses poster. Shock horror, someone has two posters up, well, it's fine to cover one then as that's fair, isn't it. But hell has descended I tell you. It's every company for itself. Every inch of space fought over by a crowd of rabid performers. It's getting nasty. It's getting dirty. It's getting down right shocking.
As you have probably seen, the mile is dotted with huge pillars that are covered in the latest layer of poster for the most fantastic show ever - of course. But it wasn't until the mass corporate machine excuses for companies moved in and destroyed the haven of good will and fairness that has so far presented itself at The Festival, that this was the case. We all know those shows that plaster an entire pillar, selfishly exposing themselves as greedy, non-fringe loving capitalists who couldn't care less for 'theatre'. "We just want to publicise our show" Bollocks. You're greedy and selfish and give no space for the poor company that could only afford a few hundred flyers and 20 odd posters. Come on people! We're all in this together.
It actually got to the point today, where companies were actually standing around their pillar in order to stave off rebel poster sticker onners. Surely, it's only a matter of time before war breaks out.
Luckily, Mokita Production values the performer above personal gain and we flyer responsively and fairly. Also, extremely skillfullly, we have a block colour blue flyer. One of ours stands out more than five of yours and you know it!
