Saw The Tempest last month. I would characterize it as lacklustre. Some strength, but overall nothing to captivate.

Not so with tonight’s Orpheus Descending. Wow. So, I’m somewhat ambivalent when it’s difficult to get wrapped up in it, but overall it was well-done, and the actress… lord, the actress. Lady Torrance, was perfect. I can’t really find fault with it, but I’m no judge. However, isn’t it up to the masses to determine the fitness? Unless it’s a small piece, meant for a specific niche audience, isn’t the fact that one character can pull so much out of it, indicative of their overall ability?

Yes, I couldn’t do drama; I would break onstage; and wouldn’t *that* be entertaining.
