Ha. Ha. Ha.

Somebody promise to smack me if I ever decide to do an involved project on comedies again. Why, oh why, didn't I pick something tragic to work on? At least then I actually have some grip on what current people think about such things. I feel rather cut off from mass opinion of comedy that doesn't involve sarcasm or inside jokes.

Oy VEY, these critics need to get a grip. If I have to hear one more person say that a change in comedic approach will be the downfall of all theatre (and eventually, human existence! Run for cover now, 'cause the sky, she be a-fallin'!) I'm going to scream.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: literary critics are on acid.
