Bog Face: who put a quarter in me?:

Last year, I watched plays unfold in the most surprising ways at Soho Rep. Often what I thought was "wrong" about a play turned out to be what was most right about it in the end. And, yes, it might have been damaging for me to point out what I thought was "wrong" - or what I thought the playwright should do instead - but more to the point it would have been a waste of time.

Okay, I confess, I did bring in my agenda full force on one occasion and it turned into a scintillating fight between myself and another participant:

Other Playwright: You have issues!

Me: I have issues?!? You have issues!

Other Playwright: You have issues!

Me: You have issues!

The fight was actually fun and I learned a lot: we all have issues.
