The Star Rating System
Tue, 16 Apr 2002, 11:25 amHi all,
It was brought to my attention last night that I had apparently given Playlover's JCS two stars in the review I wrote about it.
Not true at all. I have no idea what the stars mean. What do they mean Grant?
The Review Master

Hi Alida
My guess is that he (or she) is not listed in your programme as "The Review Master", so I'm not sure how you can make this assured assumption about our anonymous friend. Anyhow, it appears in the post below that he IS in your cast after all.
This raises one or two issues.
Is it ethical for someone to review their own show so enthusiastically without declaring their own interest in the production? How does this influence the integrity of the review?
Is it not a bit presumptuous for someone to proclaim themself a "Master"? My initial concern was that this master seemed to write far too few reviews to warrent the title, but now I wonder more about just how they are graded to be "masterful"?
This is not to denigrate your production, which by all accounts does seem to be excellent. Just that the oozing enthusing of the reporting did not convince me of the messenger's credentials.
