People Are Talking: Richard III & The Comedy of Errors:
We left at half time. It was the ultimate vicarious drunken party, not our favorite form of recreation. But there were two more serious reasons for leaving. First, it was impossible to hear much of the dialogue and we had pretty central seats in the orchestra. Unfortunate for a play that relies on words. Secondly, the comic routines had become just that, routinized with the same set of activities repeated over and over again. We had been looking forward to this play. Alas.
