Opinions on theatre. I have them.
I have another theatre review blog post up if you're interested: Mrs. Warren's Profession!

I also have a couple still in draft from plays I saw weeks and weeks ago and got preliminary thoughts written down but was too busy writing grant application and marking essays to finish writing up. I should get back to those, because King Lear was awesome, and so was Krapp's Last Tape (and I had the unique experience of not wanting to move enough to dislodge the banana peel that got thrown on my foot). :) (Why is it that the Shakespeare play I really didn't like when I read it is the one I've been so lucky to see outstanding productions of?)
Something that I didn't mention in the review: The play was good enough that I forgot my back hurt for two hours. And that's really saying something, considering that the seats in the Gate are not what you'd call comfortable seats. (And I say this while having very strong opinions about the set design and what the director shouldn't have done.)
