For me, however, the lines often get blurred between a review and a critique and I would much rather read what I think you do well - start a conversation with the reader in terms of what the show said to you and how it is portrayed. How it relates to you in life as it were. I see your blog as a part of a larger discussion of theater in general. While you often will write about things that you enjoyed or maybe thought could have been done different - the purpose doesn't seem to be to critizue or review, but rather to engage your reader on the topic at hand. The result for me is that I will often read your blog and seldom read the "reviews/critiques" that you find in various publications. I'd rather be a part of the discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
