London Fringe 2005: One Frigid Shiny Knight, an arctic romance
This is a well-written, well-acted and well-sung one-man show; but for some reason it left me cold (and that’s not a pun on the name). I really want to like it, and I’m sure everyone else will.
On a non-show topic, it’s nice to see one of the big draws promoting another Fringe performance. As for the bike crook, I hope you get two flat tires and a black eye as big as the one you gave the festival and the city.
One man’s opinion
Voicing one’s informed opinion is a responsibility gladly shouldered by any concerned citizen. The operative word, of course, is informed.
The old saw that
everyone is entitled to his/her opinionis, in my informed view, horse puckey. These days, information is easy enough to come by, if one merely seeks it out. Thus, no one is entitled to a stupid, uninformed or irrational opinion.
