You've saved me time, money, and have given me a lot of enjoyment in your ever-so-honest "attack" of a giant fizzle. I trust your judgement. With admiration, Richelle Dear Pauline,

Yeah, I admit I was pretty savage with this review, even on people such as yourself who *did* enjoy the play. I allow that particular attack was fairly uncalled-for, but I do stand by my criticism of this lousy play. It was excruciating to sit through. Plus, I was absolutely livid afterward. The very next night I saw a gorgeous and authentic play (see my review of Jaybird and Hallelujah) and my hope was restored. :) http://www.artsbeatla.com/2010/07/beautiful-and-touching-jaybird-and-hallelujah-at-noho-studios/ ^ Hi Sally, Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

Truly nasty! I was one of those people in the audience laughing out loud...and I'm not a Jack Grapes' student either...just someone who appreciated a night of simple laughter with just enough thought provoking humor to make for a fun discussion afterwards at dinner. It is clear that we have a difference of opinion about this play but I was surprised at your vitriol....not very professional based on standards of journalism in my way of thinking. Hopefully your writing attempts will never meet so harsh a judgment. Wow, Pauline! Truly nasty!
