| Count me in as another who was entranced and moved by this production. Marvelous acting, very much to think about and discuss afterward. It can't just be me who thinks Jesse Green seems dismissive of plays that skew to the political left... | |

| I have not ready Jesse Green's review, but I would not say that the play skews to the political left so I doubt that was his reason for not liking it. The totalitarian right and the totalitarian left are each depicted as deadly forces in DESCRIBE THE NIGHT. I thought it was easily the finest of the four Rajiv Joseph plays I have seen in New York. |

| I’m starting to loathe Jesse Green. His attitude toward theater seems to say, aim low and you’ll get by - aim high and I’ll tear you down. I’m kind of sick of reading him. The pretention! Ironically, the more overtly dismissive and contemptuous toward theater he is, the more he loses his influence, credibility and power. People are starting to bypass him altogether. | |

| Which "people" are starting to "bypass him altogether"? Have you done a survey? Or do you mean your friends? | |
