Huge mistake on the play being presented in its entirety! I apologize - next time I will be more dilligent about that. As for the accents, that's fair too. This column is just my opinion - this show was not my cup of tea and I don't begrudge anyone who liked it or finds fault with anything I say. I definitely made some "sloppy" mistakes regarding this review, for which I am really sorry. Fair enough. Huge mistake on the play being presented in its entirety!

This play was not edited at all. It is GB Shaw in it's true original form. I don't know what play she saw, but I saw some brilliant performances (especially by Aarels)and a beautiful production. The accents that she so smugly writes about are supposed to be different, education, class, location etc. I grew up in England and the accents onstage were pretty pure. Please rethink who writes what before you launch your diatribes on the web. It is a bit embarrassing for you. firstly, Valiulis needs to do some homework before calling herself a reviewer.

If somebody’s calling you a reviewer and that’s how you felt, then you’re totally within your rights to do both, but at least do so honestly. You complain twice in your article about the script being “chopped up”. If you actually knew the script, you’d know that we’re performing the text in its entirety. Complain about the rest if you must, but in this instance to moan “why not produce Shaw fully?” is just sloppy journalism, and misrepresents the production. I hope you have better luck with the rest of the Fringe. There’s lots of good stuff out there to enjoy. I really don’t mind that you hated me or that you trashed the show.
