"Ghostwritten" at the Goodman Theatre: 2 stars

Full story: Chicago Tribune

"Rumpelstiltskin," you may recall from childhood, is a creepy, cautionary tale with recessionary implications.

Thank you for this very accurate review. You described our experience of this play very well. You've also diagnosed the reasons for our disappointment. I'm curious if a change in acting style could save this show or if the play itself needs some more realism. With lines like "I am the Woodsman, I am the Woodsman," these actors have a tough job.

Hi Chris, enjoyed your comments about the play and after seeing it last night, can see what you mean - especially in that 2nd act (yeah, it could do with a littke trimming). But I really did enjoy it. It was one of those nights - the actors were compelling, the aromas brought me back to days spent on Argyle St and the audience was engaged & rivetted to the stage. Sometimes that's the most important thing! Thanks again
