Thanks, enoch, I hadn't seen The Dresser, so I got a very good chuckle out of that line. I won't spoil it, but it's especially ironic given how Lear brings her onstage in this version.

Did you see the Adrian Lester Othello? I thought he was rather wonderful.

I'm curious that the Times posted a review; BAM notes that the opening night is next Tuesday; why would the NYT jump that?

Their opening was last night and all the critics came this week but supposedly, the press opening is next week. I guess the Times decided to break the embargo. A lot theaters have been doing that - having a party on more convenient day but then scheduling a "press" opening for when they want reviews to run. I think it's silly but if the press allows themselves to be manipulated like that, more power to them.
