Greta Scacchi has an idea for how legit plays can fight back against the dominance of musicals in the West End: Leave questionnaires on the seats for patrons to write answers to, then collect the responses on a Website.
Audience interaction: It's at the core of what theater can do and movies and DVDs can't. Theater, being live, has the potential to be a two-way street, with energy flowing both ways -- from stage to audience and then back again.
Then again, simply handing out questionnaires isn't going to revolutionize theater.

Scacchi gets scathed in these remarks.
