Mr. & Mrs. Fitch reviews CLOSING APRIL 4?? — Page 2

"If you don't understand the difference between "I found much of the dialogue to be as witty. . ." and "you found THE dialgue as witty. . . " Well, I just can't help you to understand why that is exaggerating and twisting."


Yes, of course, that is quite a distinction. My apologies for not remembering your exact phrasing, and for incorrectly expressing your thoughts. Just for clarification, though, perhaps you could give a round figure of how much you mean by "much of." 60%? 80%? I must confess that I have trouble understanding how one could find even 1% of this dialogue as witty as Coward's, much less "much of." For that I apologize as well.

And I guess I was led astray as to the exact nature of your assessment of Beane and his play by another statement you made in the earlier thread, and which I should have cited in this one, to wit,


"It was just like modern Oscar Wilde or Noel Coward. And I thought it worked just about as well as they do -- perhaps more so."

I took this to mean that you thought Beane's play worked as well, or even better than Wilde's or Coward's.

But I'm glad you cleared things up for me. Thanks.

And in the spirit of friendship, I wish you more plays like "Mr. and Mrs. Fitch." And in the spirit of my own survival, I wish that somehow I miss them.

Incidentally, did you read Cindy Adams's review of the play? If so,I was curious as to what you thought of it.I don't think even one word of her columns is as witty as Coward or Wilde, but I do think she's as funny as all get-out.

Thanks for the advice.

But rather than my taking a course in reading comprehension, you should take a course in writing. If the sentences I quoted don't accurately reflect what you meant to say, than perhaps you shouldn't write at all.

I've wholly understood your explanations and re-explanations, and thank you for making your exact point of view known.

The problem is they are not in sync with the statements you made that I cited. Again, if those statements didn't accurately reflect your exact point of view, I feel it would have been better not to have made them.

In any event, you liked the play and I didn't. We've both made our thoughts perfectly clear. I hope that the rancor we've expressed in our exchanges can now be put behind us, and that we can have cordial and intelligent exchanges in the future.

I was there last night for 2nd Generation Night and I felt sorry for all the students who had to sit throught this dreck.

Cookies were good, though!

Anybody this that this show will close early ?

I have tickets for the last saturday night in April

Thanks
:)

It's a non-profit production, so it has always had that scheduled closing date.

The show was scheduled to close on April 4th before it started previews.

Oh, o.k, so it was always going to close April 4th then...

I wonder how the poster above has tickets for end of April... and why playbill says it is closing March 21.
