hey anyone know of any popular sayings or phrases that mean something good came from something bad, like trash to treasure. i am doing a play reveiw based on a performance which was excellent yet it took place in sort of a rundown theatre. i have a bit of a writer's block at the moment, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot.

If it was bad then the phrase "you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear" is a good one.
Another is about how the hardest substance on earth is created under great pressure- diamonds.
What does not kill us makes us stronger.
If you want to go religious-
don't pray for God to make your load less, pray for God to make you stronger.
The performers brought light into a dark place.

Why use a metaphor? Why no longer merely say the certainty of it, that regardless of a under proper venue, the play grew to become into great. then pass directly to tell merely the form you thought it grew to become into great. possibly convey the desire that the type of proficient team would have greater components.... merely my 2 cents woth
