On How To Tell A Playwright You Didn’t Like His Play
Wow. Very thin-skinned, pass/agg, this. "Very good friend...biggest asshole," etc. Also, erm, must point out that this item doesn't live up to its title ("How To...") - it's more "How *not* to..." So, in the interests of forwarding the public discourse, having seen 'Dying City' recently myself, I'll make a stab at "How to Tell a Playwright You Didn't Like His Play":
I didn't like "Dying City." I thought it was simplistic and histrionic. After 80-odd minutes of predictable, two-dimensional shoutiness & school-child dramaturgical tricks, the only emotion I felt was regret that I had encouraged two very good friends of mine to come. How is that?
