		<description>I thoroughly enjoyed &quot;Tales of Doomed Love.&quot;  The play is a literary delight. The staging and the acting – Hilary Kacser and Dave Coyne&#039;s – were superb.  The evening&#039;s theatrics stuck with me the morning after, which is the real test for me of how good a performance is.</description>

		<description>Wow. What a wonderful performance. Everything about it soared in my estimation. Both actors were brilliant. Kudos to the playwright and to the director as well.</description>

		<description>I, for one, have been in love with this young woman&#039;s acting ability for the last three fringe bouts. For any of us (followers) that have seen Kacsers &#039;Rose&#039; as -&#039;In, pursuit of the English&#039;, we know that if she has anything to do with the producing of the show (as in fringe or solo) we are in for a treat. Way to go Hilary!!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the review.  It makes me want to go see it again. I enjoyed it but missed some of the characters the first time  -- problem with late night fringe shows for those of us over 30! I particularly liked the transitions that Hilary Kacser made from character to character and I loeved how she played the light, young Juliet. I hope to see it again and I&#039;d like to see Hilary in more!</description>

		<description>Well, I for one especially liked the part about:  &quot;Best moments: Hilary Kacser’s blithely girlish turns as Juliet, and her backtracking explanation (as Lisé) of dismembering herself (”I should clarify…”).&quot;
If I do say so myself, for what it&#039;s worth, just sayin&#039;.
Thanks, Ted!

		<description>Sir Rosen,

If I didn&#039;t make it clear that I enjoyed the acting, then I must apologize to both Hilary (Kacser) and David (Coyne), who delivered heartfelt, professional performances and have clearly worked to develop a superior chemistry with one another.

As for Agamemnon—I found the alternate narrative compelling, yes.  I also found that it slipped somewhat more into the &quot;tell&quot; than &quot;show&quot; category, a forgivable inevitability that — if you&#039;ve ever been buttonholed by a lonely sod at a bar who wants to get his side of the story in print — you&#039;ll understand doesn&#039;t always guarantee the requisite catharsis.

Beyond which, blog &quot;comments&quot; are often &quot;flip&quot; and &quot;personal,&quot; which I believe makes them &quot;interesting&quot; and &quot;worthy of note,&quot; depending on the level of &quot;discourse.&quot;  Knowing the ground rules, then, one might expect a &quot;commenter&quot; to read past the flip, quip, and snip, and to dig the silver lining, as it were.

That said, one man&#039;s opinion is one man&#039;s opinion.  This hip-shot happened to be mine.</description>

		<description>Blogs are often flip and &quot;personal,&quot; and coincidentally showing off the writer&#039;s erudition.  But this blog-review is extremely so.  And it seems to miss the pathos, particularly when Agamemnon presents his soul-wrenching agony prior to having to make the sacrifice of his oh-so-beloved daughter.  The &quot;see it if&quot; and &quot;skip it if&quot; are not helpful.  And this &quot;reviewer&quot; seems not to have noticed the skills of the author in  so empathically creating an alternative view, and in her actual writing.  Nor did this &quot;reviewer&quot; notice the very excellent acting.  Do go see it. You&#039;ll value it. And then ask, is Ted Scheinman&#039;s blog worthy of being noted?</description>
