Re: “The ho ho ho show review”
Frankie! Looks like you're so relaxed that you didn't bother reading past the second paragraph. If you'd gone just a little further, you'd have found that--in this batch of eight shows--we also recommend The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey and The Santaland Diaries. Check our listings and you'll see what we think of lots of other shows. And by the way, Goodman's Christmas Carol really isn't a yawn at all.
Re: “A haiku in honor of Steep Theatre's Making Noise Quietly”
How so, Ebes? Had the actors' genitals remained covered, and I'd written a haiku imagining them, you might have a point. But the director made them part of the show. One might argue that it was my DUTY as a respectful, professional critic to evaluate them.
Re: “A haiku in honor of Brett Neveu's new boxing play, The Opponent”
There will be a review as well. This is something I thought I'd try for myself. Obviously, one vote against.
Re: “A haiku for Metamorphoses, performed in a pool of water”
OK, I admit it! Wild experimentalist that I am, I was intentionally trying to create the world's first 22-syllable theater haiku!
Re: “A haiku for Metamorphoses, performed in a pool of water”
Please resist the temptation to write in and say haikus are supposed to be 17 syllables, not 22. I'm now aware of that. Actually, taking out the third line and leaving lines one, two, and four seems to improve it.
Re: “They Call Me Mister Fry”
The date has been corrected, and Keith Griffith has modified his review to clarify the comment about the confusion of fact and fiction (see above).
Re: “A haiku on being a critic during the holidays”
Aw, Angela. Why so mean? I thought this was the best one so far.
