...that I don’t think it’s that great a column. There’s very little said here that hasn’t been said elsewhere, sooner, and/or better. But I guess I generally don’t think she’s that great a writer- others can feel free to disagree.
(She is DEFINITELY not a good critic, and that’s something I’d go to the mat fighting anybody on. There’s a reason she’s never gotten a permanent slot writing as a full-time critic at the Times - and it isn’t sexism, either. Just from the ranks of female theatre reviewers, almost every single other one I can think of in recent memory - Roma Torre, Alexis Soloski, Elisabeth Vincentelli, Melissa Rose Bernardo, Helen Shaw, Marilyn Stasio, etc., all leave her in their dust. We should have more women critics, frankly- but not her, no thanks.) |
