No, I don't think you did say that, I was rather
connecting your view of _Doubt_ as having
"ultimately a soft-centred view of doubt that perhaps
appeals to the post 9/11 liberal American community
which is, after all, dealing with an excess of
certainty among its political leaders. Even our doubt
can draw us together and be a means of comfort!"
with your other sense of" "One can't help wondering if
American theatre is really as conservative as this
play seems to demonstrate."
And in the reading of it, I, anyway, thought it was
possible for 'one' (me anyway) to make the larger
connection between a soft-centred view of doubt and
conservatism, a conservative artistic result. But, no,
you didn't say that, I was just giving an example of
how your reviews can lead to further thought. Which
is a compliment that they can be read beyond what you
do but if you feel that is to put words in your
mouth, I could, if I can find my magic wand in all
these tax papers, voila!, just take it back!
all best,
Rebecca
