Hmmmm...as much as stuff like this has a way of making my skin crawl, this time it doesn't as much mostly because there's a special purpose to it all being a senior thesis.
I know that isn't the sole purpose but it makes it not as irritating than when some pretentious director swoops in and claims he is to save an old irrelevant show for today's audiences. And what results is a piece of crap completely shunning theatrical conventions and thus everything that made a theatre piece enjoyable for people who still enjoy live theatre.
While the "UPDATE for TODAY" on the ad is pure bull and insulting for today's audiences, it's now a common strategy used to freshen the image of a show so it can get butts in seats. Still a dumbsh*t way to sell and promote a show, as rubbing a couple of brain cells together will produce a way to do that without insulting anyone, but meh. Such is the time and effort invested in theatre today.
