Mayfesto in full swing!

So as Mayfesto gets into full swing, is it actually making people think? The reviews are generally great and as the festival moves forward, ticket sales are going up and up. But what is the point we are making? Each show has its own personal views about the subjects in Hand. Drumhead had a successful post show discussion last night where the legal and moral implications of legalised torture in the face of terrorism were raised. The bar has been packed each night with actors and audience deep in conversation.
There is a great crossover between audience and performer at the Tron and so people have been discussing not only the issues raised by the plays but effect of these stories on the actors. How does one effectively present the characters and stories? How far must an actor go to truly portray the character they represent?
