Director’s reply to critics

As I mentioned, I hope Tim Supple would be allowed to reply to Lyn Gardner’s review of What We did to Weinstein at the Menier.

And he has, here.

Supple makes some valid points about appraising what a play is trying to do and the evaluating it, although I guess a critic is also giving a personal opinion as well.

Certainly, I enjoyed the play much more than Gardner, though I note her point about drifting into possible cliches.

Still, it’s one of the resaons I think blogs (maybe like mine!) will become more important as a form of criticism going forward.
