STAGE TUBE: Charles Isherwood on Why He Won't Review Adam Rapp

In a recent article in the NY Times, Theatre critic Charles Isherwood wrote that he will no longer review any further work of playwright Adam Rapp. Isherwood wrote: "After all, reading my view that his latest, "Dreams of Flying Dreams of Falling," was "an empty farrago" probably didn't make Mr. Rapp's day. But I bet that he didn't rush to the New York Times Web site during the opening-night party, or indeed read my review at all. By this point Mr. Rapp surely knows where I stand on his work, which is to say (perhaps from his point of view) jumping up and down on it."

He continued, "I've come to the conclusion I've rapped Mr. Rapp's knuckles enough for a lifetime. I'd like to hand the ruler to someone else next time."
