Sara Holdren's intelligent assessment of Boys. She is now one of my favorite theater critics, better than Jesse Green whom she replaced. Holdren finds things to like and not like.

I have been getting worried that at the age of 52 I am growing farther and farther away from the zeitgeist and that anyone in their 20's or 30's is inevitably going to be impossible t connect with when it comes to assessing older work. But she seems to have a respect and understanding of the past without the slavish emotional attachment that I might feel towards something.

I'm a Green fan so I was worried he'd be irreplaceable but I'm glad to have Holdren's voice added to the mix.

(I wish Elizabeth Vincentelli wrote as compellingly as she talks about theatre: I have been enjoying her on Theater Talk.)
