BATSHIT Bingo- The Ultimate Benedict Andrews Bingo Cards

Need something to amuse yourself during the tedious hours of any Benedict Andrews production? Welcome to:


 BENEDICT BINGO



Playing is easy and free! Simply use your card to keep track of all the elements typically seen during a Benedict Andrews production. If any item listed on your card comes into use, just cross it off.



If you can cross off any row across, down or horizontally, YOU’VE GOT BATSHIT BINGO!

Be sure to let the audience know!

Congratulations!

ANYTHING THAT FALLS FROM THE GODS EG ASH, GLITTER, ETC

    LOL! Why not? We've been playing David Williamson bingo and Neil Armfield bingo and Gale Edwards/Brian Thomson bingo for years after all, and they're even more predictable!

  5. Dear Mr Anonymous 24th of November. your attempt at sarcasm is just plain stupid...you're honestly comparing Benedict Andrews to Picasso, Shakespeare, MOZART (not Motzart!) and Orson Welles? I suggest you review your classics and then retry your hand at sarcasm.

    Back to the subject; great work Jane! Very funny and very accurate!

  6. I love this! You could add 'The use of a revolve' in a square. 'Trashing of the set' could be another.

  8. This is perfect. The Seagull may not have impressed, but I couldn't stop giggling when the ash began to fall. Classic Andrews.

  9. A colleague recommended your blog to me after I complained about the state of theatre in Sydney - Simon Stone and Benedict Andrews (after Kosky) have ruined theatre for me. So glad I'm not the only one calling out this bullshit.
    And where are the female directors? (At this point, frankly, I'd be happy with any director who didn't present as a person who has never cleaned anything, cared for anyone, someone who has a vision of a better world rather than one created by a mind fuelled by pizza, porn, torture, misogyny and reality tv.)

  10. I could have used this Bingo card during Kosky's 1997 Tartuffe, and Andrews' Measure for Measure in 2010. I'm still waiting for things to improve.
