1. I’ve been to a few of the Cryptic Nights and & have enjoyed each & every one of them in very different ways. I believe that building on the Cryptic strength of ’stay curious’ a new element could be encouraged within the audience by finding a way of getting attendees at events to talk to each other, the people they do not know. Difficult I know, but how about identifying a few people who know about the evening programme who would talk to those waiting to go to the show asking them what they knew about the show & starting a conversation. I think this could enhance the experience and possibly build up a more chatty friendly environment plus an opportunity to hang about afterwards and keep the conversation going. I recognise that the audience changes with the topic but I feel that the finding a way to promote some connectedness would add value to the experience, more business for the Cafe & CCA and may encourage more people to come along simply out of curiosity. l-a
