Closer - an apology

I am not much in the habit of submitting reviews or opinions here, but I would like to I want to offer publicly an apology to the cast and crew of "Closer" Going to see the play yesterday, I was extremely tired and was dealing with some very distressing family news. I did not enjoy myself, but this is hardly surprising:, given my mood I can hardly think of anything that I would have enjoyed. In all honesty going to the theatre was probably the last thing I ought to have done. Worse than this, I believe that my mood meant that I was rather harsher than I should have been in commenting on the play to several people. Now I have worked in theatre for almost thirty years, and I know very well the work, dedication and heartache involved in putting on a production. We need to offer support and encouragement to each other in this horribly vulnerable profession. It certainly does not help having insensitive idiots undercutting this hard work by thoughtless and offhand comments. I am not such a huge ego (my friends might disagree here) to believe that my opinions are really all that important; but while I actually intended to make constructive comments, I don't think I succeeded very well at all. And certainly the audience around me were extremely entertained and appreciative of the performance. To everyone involved in the play I offer my sincere apologies and truly wish you all well for the rest of the run. Stephen Lee
