But for long stretches- when the playwright should have been crafting character and situation and mood- they seemed to be adrift and unsure of what to make of it.I'm not sure they realized it in the end, but I don't think they had a very good time....
Talk about "self-aggrandizing"!

But leaving even the most disappointing Hare play- and I've seen a few of them- I would never deny that they were devoid of ideas or craft, and that's something I can't say about IT'S ONLY A PLAY.
Speaking of craft - you managed to say the opposite of what you meant, no??

I understand neither of your points. Could you pity a fool and explain them?

Since you're able to divine the experience of an audience better than they can themselves, I figured you could understand me. Maybe you need to look up the meaning of the word devoid?
