...monologues felt like a play rather than an unrelated series testimonials. In ways as subtle as casting and as apparent as the set, she successfully resurrected the play's most interesting ambiguities. Three actresses, for example, appear twice on the stage. In "Lamps" at the beginning of the second act, Search wears the costume she was putting on in "15 Minutes." Is "Lamps" the play she was preparing for? Is this the "lacerating self-exposure" she told us of? And when Shionoiri gives birth to the dragons on stage while satirizing the Catholic saints she invokes, we can only guess...
Johnson's accusation that the Pudding show is robbing women of one of their "only opportunities to act in a professionally-directed show" is completely false. This year alone, The Gondoliers, Guys & Dolls, Hamlet, the Visiting Directors Project, The Corn is Green, the Gilbert & Sullivan spring show and potentially others all had or will have professional stage or vocal directors.

Actors gain experience, exposure and prestige from being in the show...
...Europe is headed for an economic slowdown this spring -- that?s why the 11 euro-joining central banks made their last act a boldly coordinated interest rate cut that brought rates across the zone to 3 percent. England needs to follow suit or risk falling behind its trading partners -- high interest rates (in relation to its neighbors) would prop up the pound and slow down England?s exports, spelling recession for sure. England?s disdain for the euro pact means there will be a pound sterling next year. But if the Bank of England continues to follow the euro-zone...
