A Play and a Complaint

A complaint over a play performance all rolled into one on the Fringe.

The story is about a lady who complained over a play is as compelling to watch as the tale was interesting to see as a monologue. The story hinges on a letter that Keir received from a woman who wanted to report him to some kind of child protection board over the sleaziness of a Shakespearean performance. She referred to past performances as if it was necessary to dredge up twenty years of fringe plays with much more lascivious content.

I think it about time to see a play over such a complaint and hear the message that the letter accusing the actor of falling for underage girls in the form of a play. It was all meant as only ironical. Instead the woman used adjectives as lascivious to describe the play and referred to it as a threat to the well being of the audience. In the meantime the actor got compliments even from government officials over it and Shakespeare himself was a master of lecherous lines. The actor comically refers to other abhorrent behavior in the audience to add weight to his case against the shamefulness of the accusations he received.

To conclude, all I can say is that evidently the spectator is one of the very few odd balls that would go as far to report the actor rather than write her complaint to a review or voice her differences in a less antagonizing mode. The negative energy that the actor acquired from the three page complaint was channeled into a thought provoking play over how people can be senseless about their should or should not appear on a fringe play set.
