Both those shows have had fantastic responses - I'm constantly speaking to people inside and outside our industry who adored both. Neither were perfect. Both should be understood for their strengths and challenges. I just find it frustrating seeing exciting works like these - that are having such an inspiring impact on their audiences - being ripped apart in abusive tirrades such as this.<br /><br />I hope all the artists involved in the shows you attempt to rip to shreds know that the views you express are not the be-all and end-all. Far from it.<br /><br />And I'm sure I'm not the first person to disagree with a reviewer in this way... I just needed to voice my frustration about the brutality of these essays you write, Kevin. I believe in respecting the work of artists, and suggesting that you wasted your precious $30 and 70 minutes is hugely offensive.Mnoreply@blogger.com
