Site theatre can be a very useful and bring a new wave of hope for theatre. The idea of putting theatre into the actual space it is to be performed, brings a new view to naturalist theatre. Everything is a little more believable, the audience doesn't need to suspend any disbelief, they don't have to imagine they are in a hotel or insane asylum, they are in it, experiencing it.

So an example I was thinking of, is the cult classic, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you were to set it in a remote mansion in the middle of no where, maybe even have the audience meet on the side of the road and walk to the mansion much like Janet and Brad do. The whole mansion can be creepy along with a laboratory that the audience can go to to see Rocky come to life. Maybe even invite the audience to the dinner scene? This would be a great production to do, you could even mirror the idea that the production of Sleep No More did, and make the audience all be time warpers, that way they can be a part of the show as well and be more willing to participate in the production.

As for the quote, I do think to an extent that theatre has been neutralized. Especially when it comes to popular theatre that caters to the happy musicals and Christmas plays, however, I don't think this in entirely the theatre's fault. I think that our society has lost a certain capacity for theatre and confronting issues head on, and appreciates entertainment that makes people feel good, rather than deal with harder material. But I think that if the theatre tries to use it's powers to invite and celebrate all walks of life we could get it back into the interests of society.
