Stage Review: 'Other Shore' sails ambitious seas at CMU
PostGazette: "So in theater, more than in some arts, a great deal is necessarily lost in the dual translations of verbal language and of the physical language of performance. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stretch ourselves. So Carnegie Mellon Drama's production of 'The Other Shore' by Gao Xingjian, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for literature, is a special opportunity and challenge."

This wasn't all that well written in my opinion. I think the review could have had more substance than just offering an outline of the production. The show give lots of opportunity for one to critique it, and the writer should have taken advantage of that. Whether his comments were good or bad makes no difference, but there should have been more effort put forward.
This seems like a relatively positive review. It's funny that I hadn't heard about it until I read it here. People have been talking much more about the negative one than this which wasn't bad.
