And was the above guy said: don’t worry too much. critics often have very varied opinions about shows, what’s great to one of them can be not so great to another. Look to your audience, and you’ll see that you have effected somebody. That’s important. That’s what a writer strives for no matter what.

You know when I was a teenager, I did a creative scriptwriting class. I remember on the last day they brought in some actors to read what we had done, and I always remember what it was like having my words spoken aloud. It brings them to life, doesn’t it? It was just a couple of actors, sitting in a small classroom with a barely written script, and yet when they read it…

Well, I think I know a tiny fraction of what it must have felt like that night.

Whatever the critics say about it, be proud of your accomplishment. People were listening to your words and hopefully being moved and enlightened. Critics are notoriously cruel. Seriously, don’t worry about it if they say anything negative.

I hope one day I’ll get a chance to see the play.
