Unhappy with the review Officer's book writer Douglas Day Stewart has felt the need to write to the paper with his opinion.

Now there are other Aussie industry members weighing in on the matter.

Definitely an interesting read! Very childish and unprofessional of Douglas Day Stewart! Can't wait to see where this all goes from here! I'm guessing the one certainty is that it won't be going to Broadway!
