Posted: 12/23/03 at 4:55pmIts a very well acted and directed production of a very mediocre play. Anthony Rapp is good but doesn't get to do very much.

Posted: 12/23/03 at 6:30pmwho attended the reading of Rapp's PRETTY DEAD GIRL at Chelsea Studios recently? do fill us in. i heard from a friend that the irony was the Studios were also hosting a non-Equity call for a tour of RENT, so one disgruntled professional was heard to say to Mr. Rapp..."what has thou wrought?"

Private Jokes Public Places is a funny very intelligent play. The current production is very well acted, although I'd have to say that if you are going expecting The Anthony Rapp Show you will be disappointed.
I liked it a lot. It is very much worth seeing. A show that appeals to an audience's brain is such a rarity in these days of Wicked and Boy From Oz.
