Reviewing reviewers

Posted on Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 2:13 PM

OK, so what's up with local so-called theatre reviewers? I've yet to see a review that isn't blowing smoke up the codpiece of every performer that happens to walk across a stage. FYI, the point isn't to flatter your actor friends, it is to let the public know which where to put their hard earned money and time. I've seen some of the shows that have gotten rave reviews and I have to wonder if we've seen the same production. I'm not saying you have to be mean---there is such a thing as constructive criticism. But I will never again go to anything on your recommendations. You already owe me hours of my life back for the self-indulgent crap I've had to sit through. —Enough McDuff
