Errors in the dark
BAD lighting can play havoc with an arts minister's performance. Just ask Victoria's Mary Delahunty, who threw away her notes when poor lighting made it hard to read at the launch of a new arts website this week. Alas, the noteless Delahunty then introduced actor William McInnes as William Innes, referred to arts company Urban Dream Capsule as Urban Dream and Time Capsule, and called the Red Stitch Actors' Theatre, Red Sitch. McInnes says it was not his first identity crisis. Some Brisbanites had been convinced he was fellow actor David Wenham, Sydneysiders had believed he had once played football for Australia, and South Africans had also decided he was a footballer: former Wallaby rugby union player Troy Coker. Delahunty bowed out apologetically.
