Today i was researching substitutes for profanities on the internet. It's fine but to be honest i truly don't understand why a fully understanding, middle-class audience at the arts picturehouse would object to a well placed profanity here and there - it definitely CAN enhance a performance. Shallow as it may seem but profanities can open up characters to audiences often a lot faster than other methods. I do agree with our feedback however that our pilot did contain far too many - it's character structure was lost amidst pointless aggression and language. From our feedback we've focused on using them in a more precise manner.
