Errant poster child

HOW fortunate I was to have gotten around to reading your “Rachel Corrie” article only after hearing about another suicide bombing in Tel Aviv [“Uncomfortable in Our Seats,” by Charles McNulty, April 16].

Do you really not understand that your lengthy plea to let the Palestinian cause be heard can in no way be analogized to the legitimate issues raised in other plays you cite? A more proper analogy would have been your advocacy of a play about Hitler’s hitherto unknown “noble” goals in planning the Holocaust.

I do hope you have sufficient time to let us see another article wherein you elaborate on your statement about the specific issues this play raises that will serve to “open minds and hearts to a situation that’s less black and white than many have been told.” (Just like that yet-to-be- written Holocaust play, of course.)

WHO appointed Charles McNulty the theoretician for L.A. theater companies?

His contempt for “ticked-off donors and subscribers” says it all. We operators of black box theaters know how to risk all and lose our shirts on projects about which we care passionately with no help whatsoever from this dilettante.
