The Saturday Saying

“The National Theatre of Great Britain has brought an infantry of more than three dozen performers to the Ahmanson Theatre, in the form of its touring, epic staging of War Horse, Tony Award winner for Best Play, employing the same source material as Steven Spielberg’s feature film of the same title. That this beautifully staged circus of unapologetic shlock should win such a prize is an indicator of either how our commercial theater has sunk, or how fundamentally flawed or compromised the Tony Awards have become.”
Steven Leigh Morris – from his review of “War Horse” (LA Weekly)
