...puns where that came from; that the audience is usually probably slosho enough to giggle its way through the Apocalypse (believe it or not, this actually happens, this year, in Act I, Scene Seven--count 'em--Seven); and that the Crimson critic does his part every year by saying unkind things about the show--a silly and futile endeavor since the show always sells out anyway (which is more than we can say for The Crimson, right...

Rudolph has clearly taken his work and himself very seriously; his characters, themes...
