... the ever-vigilant Dave Lull advises me not to miss this performance of his new short play: Apart from That ... And you won't want to miss it either, I'll bet.
Now, let's be honest: Only a deluded cutting-edge intellectual could possibly regard this as anything other than unadulterated crap. And please, don't tell me it's Beckettian. It's to Beckett what Naugahyde is to leather - and saying so probably does a disservice to Naugahyde.
Well I don't even like Beckett much, having sat through a few of them and read all of them, so don't get me started on Pinter!

ReplyDeleteBetter a deluded cutting-edge intellectual than a tin-eared dull-edged poser.
"...a tin-eared dull-edged poser."
ReplyDeleteSounds like Pinter to me.
Hi Maxine,
ReplyDeleteThe best thing of Beckett's I ever saw was Jack MacGowren's one-man show of excerpts "Beginning to End." It was actually quite moving. I find Beckett good in spots, but am so far different in sensibility from him it really doesn't usually work for me, either.
