Comparative Review on Gail and Pavlar Interviews

While a good majority of this seems to near enough the same, there are parts in which the two differ. The major area  I see this is within the question "What styles of theater do you use?" Gail replied by saying that it isn't allways up to them, it's up to the ones who effectivley "order" the performance, while Pavlar said that theirs are primarly inspired by Brecht, with parts of Boal and Dorothy Hethcote. This shows that Blah Blah Blah seem to have more creative freedom on what they perform, as it is them who decides what it is they are performaing in what style. I wonder what brings about this difference?
There is also a difference on how long productions are in planning. For Gail, she said they plan two years ahead, while Pavlar says it depends on the budget and even after it's produced it is still constantly evolving. This may be down to the above, with one being comissioned on a certain style while to other gets to decide for themselves, but the fact that the timescales still differ so greatley is something that shows the un-even nature of this line of work.
