For seven years I did very little theatre, and I have to make up some time.

I would like to see us get this place right first before we have the arrogance to put significantly flawed civilizations out onto other planets, even though they may be utterly uninhabited.

Creating a believable world on the ship was very important, and technically they got better and better and better at showing the ship too.

Where can I go that would give me the same level of satisfaction as an actor?
