-Them, to top it all, 2019 brought another kind of catastrophe in the form of the COVID-19 , as it  hit the world, the responses to the pandemic up-ended virtually all our preconceptions and beliefs about the nature, role and forms of theatre and performance  and devastating established companies and instituions, while giving rise to new forms, companies and procedures.

 By eliminating the critic who, being a specialist, was costly to employ, newspapers have saved money and replaced critics with entertainment guides. This approach has the advantages reducing newspapers’ overheads, rendering employees more easily replaceable and assuring commercial advertisers that they have the advertisers’ interests at heart. While this new development is certainly not all bad – the internet has much to offer as a source of information and an “information highway”, and I think we will debating this for a while to come – but I fear that, perhaps,  among the casualties of the sudden rush to embrace the digital revolution may well be have been those qualities associated with criticism at its best: independence and '''informed''' dissent.
