Whenever I curse over typos and spelling mistakes here, I remember the sub who, in a industrial affairs story I filed, changed a crucial "was not" to "was", thus making me appear to be a prime idiot.<BR/><BR/>Good to see Cameron haunting the blogosphere.

He described the content of play, listed the actors, said writer Declan Greene was someone to watch- but as for actually reviewing the production- nothing. He may as well have written a book report.<BR/>It is so frustrating as a reader to look for a review of a production and not be given a considered verdict. there are so few theatre Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-55845906763155675632007-02-12T10:17:00.000+11:002007-02-12T10:17:00.000+11:00Hi Richard - no, I've not had the pleasure, but so...Hi Richard - no, I've not had the pleasure, but somehow I would expect we'd disagree on that one. Perhaps it will be online soon... I am wondering if Woodhead's reviewing Cerini's piece: in its last incarnation (which I didn't see) he kindly suggested that young Angus should take lessons in "pushing the envelope" from Sir David Hare!
