also not to make you look like a dickhead or anything, but you've commented under 4 different names on this website, and you've already been back since you posted that comment 8 hours ago.

Maybe stick to the theatregoing?

… and the comment section, by definition, is for people to comment on the story. In this case, it's this review, which I think is garbage. But then again so is the whole Tab project, so I don't know what I was expecting.

Anyway, I think I'll keep my head firmly in my arse for now, thanks; I'd much rather look at the inside of my own rectum than this dirge any longer. You'll be glad to know I won't be back.

A critic is by definition supposed to be critical. Lottie pointed out problems in Streetcar sure but there was also a lot of good in there (e.g. Syers' performance). By suggesting that you have greater powers of observation and appreciated the play on some higher level you are in fact implying that you would make a better reviewer. Obviously as you write for better publications this must in fact be the case.

Anyways, I hope I haven't caused you to remove your head from your arse for too long in reading this. If you ever deign us worthy enough to receive your inspired writings drop us a line, if only so I have the satisfaction of telling you to fuck off.

Well it's a rude and bitchy review. I've not claimed at any point to be a better reviewer, nor have I said to Lottie that if she thinks she can do better in a show she should "go and direct one".

That said, I write for much better publications than this. Loves x

A thoroughly good review and spot on with my exact sentiments towards the play – ignore this theatregoer

That's such a rude and bitchy comment for what I think is an excellent review. If you think you're such a good reviewer why not e-mail The Tab about doing Theatre reviews rather than sitting around complaining.

I reckon this review would be bearable if a) the journalism was of a decent standard and b) you actually paid attention. Blanche and Stanley get it on over the kitchen table? Guess I missed that scene. Perhaps you were looking at your phone a little too often. Freshers these days…
