I totally agree with you but I still have a nagging worry that the decline and disappearance of those awful, hurtful people is not making the theatre a better place for the audiences. I have LOVED the work of- for instance- Rachel Chavkin and Tommy Kail and understand them to be nothing but upstanding people in life as well as superior artists. I just prefer a theatre community where there is a variety of types running things and I can make my own choices about whom to work with and whether or not to wear protective gear when I come to work. And if the work of the monstres sacrés finally has no audience it will bite the dust and it will be an inevitable bit of evolution.

I think we can facilitate that evolution just as we have passed laws against various forms of discrimination, for instance. One thing I am pretty sure I know about Rudin: if the choice were between producing theatre (or movies) that bring him accolades and awards and perpetuating his pathological misconduct, I think he will find a way to chart the former course, even if it costs him tons in therapy fees.

Who's talking about whether "the decline and disappearance of those awful, hurtful people is" or is "not making the theatre a better place for the audiences?" You or anyone else in the AUDIENCE? It's the people who are working with these ogres who deserve decent working conditions.
