The play was awful and bland.
“Yesterday I had the honor to visit one of the most prestige theaters in the US. I went to see a new play thats been recommended for me by many critics. I was beyond disappointed. The actors were awful and bland, and that’s not even mentioning the basic script. The only decent part of my whole night was looking at the beautiful architecture of the theater. I truly don’t understand what the big deal with the play is. If you want to be bored to death, then I recommend attending it.”
What is the writers viewpoint of the play? |
Yes, the author includes his opinion when stating “As an outsider, taking what I flatter myself to be a rational perspective, I have no quarrel with these rulings. Some of the best qualified paediatricians in the land identified a rare genetic condition that doomed Charlie’s existence from then on.”
