You might have mentioned that perhaps others felt differently and that there was a standing ovation the night you saw it! It is a huge story but I felt well done for a new theatre company. And Carley's (yes CarlEy) performance is stunning. Obviously you did not like this play but there are plenty of us who did. I am going back for seconds!
Great article, Sherilyn, and I totally agree. We already have an over abundance of downtown restaurants. What we need are reasons to bring folks downtown and theatre is a big reason! We theatre junkies typically want to go out before or after a show - and often it's both. I think it's a total shame, especially since Beowulf was really the best small theatre in Tucson in terms of the stage size, seating comfort, etc. Their closing will leave a large hole in downtown Tucson!
While I agree that the acting was really solid, I disagree with this being a "flat" play and several of us talked at length about the play afterwards - definitely not leaving the theatre "empty-handed". OK - it isn't the BEST PLAY EVER - but it is really good (echoes of Mamet be damned) so do yourself a favor and go see what I think is a great production.
I just hope Ms. Kuder sends a copy of this review to the owner! There are just too many restaurants trying to make it - I'm certainly not going to frequent a place that has such crummy service. Wake up servers - good tips come from good service!!
