Sir, – I am deeply frustrated by the recent review of Mag’s Tail in Absolut Fringe festival (Arts Ideas, September 13th). I was an audience member at the performance, and not only was I offended by the language used by your reviewer, I disagree wholeheartedly with the criticism of this production.
The spirit of Fringe performance is to be surprising, challenging, innovative, and ultimately fresh and exciting. Under this criteria, Mag’s Tail excelled. I was genuinely moved and entertained by this clever performance.
I am saddened that the trite and dismissive account by one of your reporters may negatively impact the future success of this production and its artists. – Yours, etc,
