Names changed to protect the innocent

This should possibly go in the 'Theatre Reviews' section, but I can't actually bring myself to write a review about what I saw tonight. It was, in all probability, the single worst piece of theatre I've ever seen. The writing, characters, production, directing, and acting were all atrocious. I actually enjoyed myself immensely, but for all the wrong reasons. Also it helped a fair bit that I was fairly well inebriated.

I don't have the heart to mention any details. But it's certainly made me feel more tolerant to a lot of other shows with only half the talent.

This thread began with me not wishing to expose details which, although I felt were accurate, I also felt would ultimately be more hurtful than helpful to the party under review.

So how did we wind up here?

You can see how people get upset, and some respond badly, to harsh criticism. And others are quite willing to make personal attacks, regardless of the hurtfulness or accuracy of their information. Given the opportunity, it seems people are fairly willing to stick the boot in.

I think I'm glad I chose not to review this particular show. The repercussions could have been devastating.


Cheers,
Craig
