I applaud the attempt (saw the pay-what-you-will Sunday preview on the 30th). While I felt some of the key scenes did not quite come off, and had difficulties with the Greek chorus concept (charming though it was, much of the time), I think the lengthy anonymous critique was a bit overdone, as well.<BR/><BR/><BR/>> The central setup - Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524728.post-50718303515580824002008-04-07T08:20:00.000-07:002008-04-07T08:20:00.000-07:00Very little here believable or interesting.
