Jamaica Binned.

I read yesterday how a new production of Jamaica Inn, which was highly anticipated, was just shown in England and failed. The complaint was that  it couldn't be heard and was a mumbling mess. Yesterday the blame lay with the sound techs. Today the actors are blamed, one in particular, "just mumble and we cannot understand a word."
Its the worst thing that can happen to any performer. If you cannot be heard, it doesn't matter how hard you try. I don't know who is really to blame, outside of the sound editor, who should have caught this before it hit the air.What I do know? Never blame your  front end technical people..
