Yeah, um people who are theater buffs…people who read plays and go to lots of Broadway shows…um, they know what all those words mean Beet. don’t get upset if a theater critic actually writes at an above 10th grade reading level. Oh, and I’d place money that the veteran stage actors in this show would also know what asperity means and what Erinyes are(he defines it anyway!).

Oh, and BTW, I saw the previews, and agree with the critic; her delivery was mostly the fault of the director, and only real stage pros like Lithgow could overcome the directorial handicap.In another show, or with another director, I think she would be fine.

@ pmp

I was being an ass. Theology is just insane to me, yet I find more satanists that are more and more knowledgeable than most christians. It depends on what aspects you wanted to focus on. As you know there are many versions of the “story.”

to be fair, what he said is completely understandable. and he DOES write for the new york times, not some teenage magazine.

I have to say, ‘asperity’ is just a normal word that most educated adults should know. If you don’t know the meaning of a word you encounter, look it up in the dictionary. I think an arts review is a perfectly valid place to use non-dumbed-down vocabulary and to make reference to, guess what, the history of the arts. I didn’t know what the Erinyes were until – *gasp* – it was explained immediately after its use. It’s valid. I don’t know who half the nobody American celebs are that are referred to on here, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t refer to them, Beet – because this is a valid context for doing so.

I’m glad to hear that Katie Holmes performed OK. I was worried she was going to bomb, and I really wanted her to do well in something she’s doing in her own right, to get out from under Tom’s thumb a bit.

(LOL, Tom’s thumb!)

@ PMP

I will save you a ton of money on theology studies. (WINK WINK)

I could tell you were to go to find real information but it is not what you think.

Learn the language. Don’t disparage its use.

Asperity is not an obscure word, Beet. I am disappointed in you.

Lately I’ve been “researching” Lilith.
I was baptized a Catholic, so most of my exposure to religion has been Catholic/Christian.

I’ve been trying to…establish and understand my relationship with the universe. So, trying to see from another point of view has been my goal lately. I really want to go back to university and study philosophy, theology lol, all those things you can’t make a career from, but are so damn intriguing!
