Looking back on Look Back

Overall, it was very weird Friday to read a review of my work in Voices. After having written and edited so many things in that section before, it took me a little while to get used to seeing my name in the copy, as opposed to the byline, for a review of my production of Look Back in Anger at University Theater. Overall, James Kraft did an excellent job with the review, and even though I don't agree with him on everything, it was a solid review, one that criticized elements the play while simultaneously respecting the effort put into it. This is what criticism should be doing.

Overall it was an exhausting, overwhelming experience, and my grades will probably dip this quarter as a result of it. Nonetheless, I'm glad I did it, and I'm happy with the final results, and learned a lot from the experience. I don't know if I'll ever direct again, but I'm glad it came out like it did. Supposedly we had a couple of audience members crying, which is always a good sign.

Now that I've had my UT swansong, I can fully commit myself once again to both Voices in print and this blog in particular. Look for a Diablo Cody & Ellen Page podcast coming soon, as well as the snark and commentary this blog has become accustomed to. Godspeed, Voicelings.
