Comments on: Dominion Stage Presents DC Premiere of Say You Love Satan /2007/01/review-ds-say-you-love-satan/ Theater Info for the Washington DC region Mon, 09 Jun 2014 20:41:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: Laura & Mike Clark /2007/01/review-ds-say-you-love-satan/comment-page-1/#comment-13191 Sun, 14 Jan 2007 04:25:39 +0000 http://www.showbizradio.net/2007/01/12/review-ds-say-you-love-satan/#comment-13191 Ken, thanks for your thoughts. You are right, we made a mistake in our review. We did not separate out the script from the performance. Some of our comments are aimed at the script, and that was wrong of us to do. Our thoughts should primarily be about the effort put forth by the theater company. I apologize for not staying focused on the show.

Ken was the producer of and a performer in this show, and we thank him and Dominion Stage for allowing us to attend the final rehearsal of the show.

A wise woman on “Beauty and the Geek” once said “I am an expert at things that I know.” After reading this review I feel that the reviewers obivously do not know anything about gay people and their culture. It feels that you are homophobic and out of touch with reality. Saying that the role of Andrew could easily be played by a woman and turning the whole story straight is obsurd. That is like saying the Vagina Monologues could be performed by men. This is a gay show! It might have been EDGY in the 70’s or 80’s but this is the year 2007.

It also feels like you are saying that gay men cannot have relationships like straight people. Turn the play straight and then you might understand the dynamics of the show. Gay people are just as normal as straight people and go through life dealing with relationships, friendships and ex-lovers just like anyone else.

You’re probably saying to yourself right now that you have gay friends. Are they really your friends or do you tolerate them and wish they were straight?

Maybe the director should have put Jack in horns and a tail to make him more diabolical. Do you feel that Andrew would have dated him then? Would a woman want to go out with someone like that? Maybe he should have had a big mustache and twirled it like in the black and white movies of old. Sometimes less is more!

We all have a right to our opinions and I am an expert at mine.

K. Clayton
