How is this not getting cancelled for national mourning?
Different, unfair standards for common folk and cosseted rich boys, in my UK?

And passes better without trying.Oh, come on. Weird Al is actually talented.
He never said cat-called. He said some men "shouted at him". Which, to be fair, I can believe.God, Olly is just a fucking recitation of TRA cliches and lies. "Think I'm not a woman? Well I get catcalled, how about that, TERFS?"
Let me guess, were the cat-callers construction workers in white singlets and yellow hardhats, lunch-pails in hand? Why don't you tell us about how hard opening jars is now? Or how some old lady said you reminded them of Old Hollywood glamour with your sexy contralto?
Oh my god it’s pathetic, the way he desperately chases anyone and everyone on Twitter for clout.
Cow crossover!
It's absolutely hilarious how desperate Olly is to be The Trans Princess of TERF Island that he has to go out and try to chase for clout, while most people ignore him.Oh my god it’s pathetic, the way he desperately chases anyone and everyone on Twitter for clout.
No, but I did a little search right now, and there doesn't seem to be that much buzz around it. The most significant seems to be that The Guardian and The Telegraph posted a review of it. The latter being behind a paywall, but both giving it a 3/5. The Guardian review seems like a bunch of inane praise while ending up giving it 3/5, which makes me think it's above all boring and uninteresting.Has anyone kept up with his little play?

I also came across this short video that the theatre posted:
Note that they use a quote from the Telegraph review on their poster without showing the score they go
Yeah, I've had a look and beyond those 2 reviews which reek of trying to big up something mediocre for woke points, the biggest review in the bag is from What's On Stage, 4 stars, but written by a young she/her so that's no surprise. What I do love though, is that even though she praises Olly's writing, she picks out multiple other cast members to specifically fawn over their acting choices, but Olly doesn't get a mention on that front. lolNo, but I did a little search right now, and there doesn't seem to be that much buzz around it.

Read both reviews a few days ago and came here to see what people were saying about his play, only to discover the site was down until today (?).No, but I did a little search right now, and there doesn't seem to be that much buzz around it.

By jove, you've got it. I was wondering where this 'stalker' had come from.Crying about muh security, and probably going particularly hard on the “stalker” thing cos he’s seen how much traction it’s gotten Keffals - verified in record time!-lately. Stil no tick for tube, who has been seething about that too

This is when the fun really startsIt was really boring before this
= The story is poorly put together and not easy to understand, but Ollie clearly loves his writingWith a majority trans cast, glee oozes from Thorn’s playful juggling of Shakespearean language around identity and performance. But the concept at times lacks clarity. A sidestep into the world of Hamlet builds on the deliberate feeling of chaos but also adds frustrating confusion about the mechanics of the world-building.
Nevertheless, it’sa rompsilly and childish.
Ouch.The Prince is best seen asa theatrical video-essay. It's PhilosophyTube for the theatre.
Ollie doing what Ollie does best, boring the pants off people.so if they're lukewarm about it...
Did someone mention an online version, or did I come up with that in recent a nightmare?Really hoping someone in this thread is willing to go and see it and report back. Asking a lot, I know.
Perhaps the expression of the reviewer's internal conflict between wanting toAm I the only one reading snark in The Guardian review?
The Gruan review was also the one which used the phrase “wacky new play” if I’m not mistaken..By jove, you've got it. I was wondering where this 'stalker' had come from.

Ouch.
There's only one(?) actual compliment given to Thorn. Ollie uses 'intelligent wit'. Else it's, 'playfully questions', 'playful juggling', and 'glee oozes'. Ollie's character is 'played with smouldering dignity' (looks hot, not completely embarrassing), but Mary Malone's is 'played radiantly'.

“The dialogue is brought bang up to date thanks to our two travellers who are very much in modern times, replying to Shakespearean dialogue with words like “Babe” and “Mood” “
Ah, I wasn't sure if I'd imagined it lol. Was there mention of a discord chat or something for when it got released? I'd love an invite though I can't promise I'll necessarily care enough on the actual day to join, depends on whether there's some paint drying around.Can't wait til it's released on Nebula so we can get the really brutally honest reviews - which will be responded to with something like "you miss so much not seeing it live that the bad opinions don't count!"
