Paramount Theatre
What a Horrible Review!
RECEIVED Fri., July 9, 2004
Dear Editor,
What a horrible review (Molly Sweeney) ["Exhibitionism," Arts, July 9]! Your reviewer tells the entire story start to finish and leaves nothing for the theatregoers to experience for themselves.
I'm glad I saw the play before I read this review – or the wonderful experience of seeing it live would have been much less satisfying.
I heard more than one attendee mention it's the best play they had seen in Austin – and I agree wholeheartedly. Garry Peters' "broad gestures and aggressive delivery" were skilled and on target for the role of the alcoholic – without making Mr. Rice appear cartoonish.
I'm amazed especially since I've discovered that I saw the same show that your reviewer attended.
