We’ve been counting down to the announcement of #LynsNextStep and, at an industry-only event tonight at The Vaults, MyTheatreMates’ co-founder Terri Paddock is delighted to be chairing a Q&A with Lyn Gardner about her new appointment – follow us on Twitter for live-tweeting from this – but in the meantime, we’re delighted to reveal the news here!
Do you have to be paid a fee for your review to be critically valid?
I don’t think it matters whether you’re writing for a national newspaper, your own website or a small organisation which doesn’t pay for reviews. The important thing is that you can, and do, provide an informed critical assessment of the show.
‘If you invite a critic then criticism is what you’ll get’: No correspondence will be entered into
I stand by everything I write in any review and will not make changes just because someone’s feelings may be a bit bruised. In fact I’m not prepared even to discuss it. We’re all grown up. If you invite a critic then criticism is what you’ll get. Accept it with grace.
