I’m seeing six plays in seven days this week (yesterday was my day off), doing reviews of the Fringe Festival for CurtainUp. The Fringe reviews are here, and my first contribution is here. Writing that little paragraph led me to realize that above a certain threshold of competence with the English language, everyone’s writing sounds basically the same within the constraints of a short-form review.
Regular posting to resume next week, probably kicking off with The Emperor’s Children.
Update:
Review of The Alice Complex
Review of Becoming Britney
Review of Gargoyle Garden
Review of Salt Lake: A New Ballet
Review of That Dorothy Parker

I know in book reviewing–due to its formulaic nature–there is the theory you could review most books without reading them. I haven’t tried yet but I have certainly done a review on 60-70% of the book actually read.
I might try one day. The cool thing would be to never even see the book. And then write a review. I would respect that like Cher.
Not sure how that would work with plays.
