Hi Debra,

Very much appreciated… I think caring is cool. I’m a dag like that.

Hi Niall,
I think readers do, know it’s all subjective, yes. I think this issue raised really just demonstrates the old fashioned notions of roles, hierarchy and formalism wrapped up in contemporary theatre.

I assume all the people that read my responses are having their own personal dialogue with my ideas – weighing them up against their own thoughts… as such I don’t think a reviewer is the ultimate – but a part of a conversation starter with an audience (who are sometimes also artists)

Yes doesn’t everyone know when one reads a review that it is one person’s opinion? Whether they actually use the “I” or disguise it in some way doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
