Saw Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? last night at the Neptune. Excellent stuff. Storyline (unsurprisingly) grim, but also blackly comic. And the two lead actors were outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
On the subject of theatre criticism, I was going to post about the overwhelmingly middling reviews the new LOTR stage production in Toronto has received. But Jonathan beat me to it and saved me the trouble. I figured the reviews wouldn't be great, actually, since 'serious' theatre critics don't usually like big, over-the-top musicals - juggernauts like Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables were both slammed on opening. As for LOTR, it'll all depend on the audiences, I'm sure. Quite looking forward to seeing it now.
