Working with some academics, we've designed this quiz as part of a piece of research to better understand our audiences. We've tried to make it FUN (sorry) - but at least it's not the same as every other audience survey and we're not asking for any personal or demographic information.

Quiz length: 5-10mins.

If you had to pick one option, what's the most important motivation for you going to the theatre?

Engaging with important social and political issues

Seeing great theatre, major classics and impressive productions

Seeing your favourite artists on stage

Seeing innovative and experimental performance that excites and surprises you

Supporting new work and the future of the arts

For a fun time with friends (ideally with a great bar)

When booking a ticket, what's likely to be the final deciding factor?

You've heard the show is a unique opportunity, genuinely different from anything else

You've read rave reviews in mainstream press

You know the company or some of the people involved in the show are brilliant

The content and themes of the piece feel urgent

Tickets are available - you just want another night out at the theatre

Your friends are going - so it'll be fun to join them

Select your favourite quote, or the one you to which you relate the most.

�Theatre was created to tell people the truth about life and the social situation.” -- Stella Adler

�I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” -- Oscar Wilde

�The theatre is so endlessly fascinating because it's so accidental.” -- Arthur Miller

�The novel is more of a whisper, whereas the stage is a shout.” -- Robert Holman

�I am confused by life, and I feel safe within the confines of theatre.” -- Helen Hayes

�A stage space has two rules: (1) Anything can happen and (2) Something must happen.” -- Peter Brook

You decide to plan an evening at the theatre, how do you prepare for it?

You already know what you want as you have been following your favourite artists on social media

You read a lot of reviews and pick what looks best

You look for shows relevant to your life and subject interests

You go straight to New Diorama's website and just book - done!

Planning? What plan?

You ask what your friends are doing and tag along

What would make you book tickets earlier in advance for a new show?

More video and photography so you have a better sense of the show in advance

Information on specific pre/post-show events connected to the themes

Knowing that the venue is regularly selling out tickets

I'll always book early if it's for an artist I care about

Nothing, I'll always wait to hear if other people think it's worth the money

Better group booking deals so I can get friends together

How important is it for you to attend cultural events?

Home TV channels are so good these days, I only occasionally feel the need to attend live events

Culture is a great social activity and a way to see friends and family

I'd like to be more culturally involved, but don't find that much to excite me

It's an occasional bonus, but not a core commitment

Creativity is an inherent part of my identity and the joy in my life

Culture is crucial to how I make sense of the world and learn new things

When you think about New Diorama Theatre, you first think:

My local theatre - I live in the area

I love the artists and companies who've been performing there for years

I don’t know much about it, it’s simply a venue among many others

The UK's leading venue for ensemble and company work

A fun venue with a great bar to hang out in

An important venue engaging with current debates

In what ways is supporting the arts important to you?

Somewhat: I do it by buying tickets!

I'm a paying member or supporter of several arts institutions

Money is tight but I donate when I can

I'm most likely to support socially-engaged arts or youth programmes

I support my local venues - charity begins at home

I hate being asked for donations - there are more important causes out there
