It takes ages for A Man and Some Women to get going. I was sure it was the worst thing I’d seen in a long time- what with its affected accents, stiff corsets, slow pace and lack of energy- but the further into the play I got the more I started to like it. By […]

Ladies and gentleman, I spoke too soon. It was just a few days ago when I wrote: “Britney’s in a great place because if the veto is used by anyone, she should be safe this week.” I, like the rest of Quack Pack, put way too much trust in alliances. After a brutal week, […]

While this was my first Happy Medium show, I have heard good things about them. I was hoping for a moving experience, unfortunately there was something missing in this production. I’ll save you the anticipation: the show was poor. What interests me here is why it was such a deeply flawed production. With the resources […]
