Summary/Abstract: Alistair Smith, the editor of the British theatrical weekly, The Stage, in an interview with Panna Adorjáni, speaks about the position of theatre criticism in British theatre. British theatrical press can be identified more as a business, and the interview presents this theatrical culture that is sligthly alien from the continental European tradition. Smith also speaks about the difference between the so-called blogosphere and traditional criticism, as well as about the rather restricted circle of (British) theatre-goers.
