Ouch...

"...The problem with Goldman’s rambling, 90-minute one act on Internet dating, which had its world premiere Sunday night at the Alliance Theatre, is that it has so darn many words, and Shepherd can’t get them out of mouth without flubbing them.

Perhaps it was opening night jitters. But in my six years of reviewing theater for this newspaper, I have never seen a performance as embarrassing and painful to watch as this."

That sounds like it could be a good name for a play or a movie "Cybil Shepard gets a bad review"

Name of the play? Author of the review? Link? Anything?

"Shepherd can’t get them out of mouth without flubbing them."

And the writer can't write a coherent sentence to describe her flubs. Maybe try "out of HER mouth." Sounds like a moron- I wouldn't trust the review.

I've got tickets for this Friday. I've been looking forward to seeing it. I hope it's not as bad as all that.

Here's another review that mentions Shepard not being too familiar with the script.

Hmmm....when I hear Cybil Shepard, I don't think of theatre. I think of how AMAZING Christine Baranski is on stage and on film and TV. And how she saved Cybil's TV show.

So, I saw Cybill Shepard in all her faded glory last night. And yes, she was as bad as the reviews indicated.

I am sure Cybil will come out later saying how everybody had it in for her and how they they are all trying to screw her over.
