| There's no more surprise left after that review. He basically tells the whole story and all the shadings. Why bother buying a ticket? Less is more, 'member? | |

| Let me come to this reviewer's defense. The only thing anywhere near a "spoiler" I can see is the sentence: "Following the play's downbeat ending, in which repression and conservatism seem to triumph..." I have literally no idea how the play is supposed to end based on that. For those who think the play is "spoiled", I guess the review can be edited to say that "some people may find some things below to be spoilers"? So nobody here complained about a theater reviewer posting a blatantly political opinion here a few months ago in a review (which I believe belongs on the opinion page of a newspaper, not in a theater review), but we hear a complaint about this?? |

| Literally, the first sentence of the review spoils the whole damn thing--unless, I guess, you don't know the plot of Footloose, which is always a possibility. Seth, baffled that someone wouldn't know the plot of Othello, either |

| We do. Plus I had to rummage through all the plummy verbiage, so there's that - another type of spoiler, I guess. | |
