And I've read theatre reviews by her that were insightful and intelligent. She praises the show's clarity, the actors' stamina, and she says that the "trick works...well on the audience." So it's clear that she liked the show, and seems to be recommending that people see it. And the caption for the picture is absolutely priceless.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should just shut up and be thankful. This has to be the first time in the history of drama a director has ever complained about a good review.Andrew Hammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714127938846605400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23015033.post-45189388685460854062007-02-16T10:55:00.000-05:002007-02-16T10:55:00.000-05:00Most of what she says is fairly ambiguous.

This reminds me of our other long time critic in Richmond, who loved theatre with a passion and traveled the world to see good theatre...but never really understood how a theatre production came together...so he would but the blame or the glory in the wrong place quite a bit.
