Quite a lame review, if you ask me. I saw the show (both of them, both Pub Plays) and I was utterly thrilled. WAR was given Critic’s Choice in the LA Times, in Backstage, and in LAist. Doesn’t that tell you anything? The show is filled with great performances, was a major accomplishment for its ensemble work, and yet all you had to say in the way of kudos was ‘passable Irish accents’? Adamek, try some Guinness.
Hi Marissa, Thank you for your spirited comment. You are right — a bottle of Guinness would have helped me enjoy this production more – LOL!
