I'm not sure about this manifestation thing... sounds like some new-age hocus pocus to me


. I mean, can you really just think yourself into more funding and support? It seems like a lot of hot air to me. And what's next, thinking your way out of a speeding ticket?

Give me something tangible to work with, you know?
I do love that Cumming wants to nurture indigenous Scottish talent, though - it's about time we saw some real change around here. And I'm always down for four world premieres and collaborations with high-profile performers... that sounds like some quality entertainment.
But let's be real, if the guy is trying to make this theatre a hub for creative activity, he needs to bring in some actual funding first. Just slapping up posters and hoping people show up isn't going to cut it

. Still, I'm keeping an eye on this, maybe he'll surprise me...
