I know Gene Weingarten. I mean I KNOW Gene Weingarten. And there is no freaking way that Gene Weingarten would be sitting in a darkened theater for 120 MINUTES, each ticking by so slowly it seemed like an eternity, while some dude in mimeface pumped his knees and waved his arms and fake slipped and slid up and down an invisible mountain, UNLESS someone was holding a large caliber handgun to his temple. If it were only a .22, he'd take his chances and bolt out of there. This is all about your respect and admiration for Rachel. Admit it. Has nothing to do with your own true sensibilities.

This is all about your respect and admiration for Rachel. Admit it. Has nothing to do with your own true sensibilities.

I can imagine that play being riveting, with the right script and the right actor (think Bill Irwin.) Moreover, I know Rachel and she knows theater, and if she says it's good, it almost assuredly is. I'll bet you would have similarly ridiculed, sight unseen, a play accurately described as "Two bums waiting for a friend who never shows up. Not much happens in the meantime."
