Sir, - I am a 28-year-old UCD graduate who was ashamed and embarrassed by the 18-year-old UCD student who was ashamed and embarrassed by the National Theatre's production of The Barbaric Comedies, a play she has not seen.

She would like to know who finds it entertaining. I do. Not only entertaining, but challenging, thought-provoking and visually stunning.

The national theatre dares to corrupt us with stunningly imaginative European theatre. Thank God for its theatrical vision; we badly need to be so corrupted. - Yours, etc.,
