• How’s That Guardian List Of The Best Plays Of The 21st Century?

  22-09-2019 22:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  It’s “a deranged hodge-podge,” according to Andrzej Lukowski. The list of 50 shows “veers from resolutely mainstream to borderline obscure without a tremendous amount of sense or coherency.

  22-09-2019 19:01
  Bill Lockwood and Trevor Moore are at odds with Jonathan Jones’s review of the artist’s latest exhibitionJonathan Jones (Reaching for the stars on butterfly wings, 20 September) awards five stars to an exhibition in which Damien Hirst “wants you to feel the awe-inspiring miracles of life” by having thousands of butterflies committed to death so as to use their wings.
