"Newspapers have to go in a different direction, and I actually don't want to go in that direction. I hope I'm still going to be able to do reviewing, but I don't know. I'm not hopping to another job, for first time in my life. I don't have a plan. But I want to do more satisfying writing."

Not surprising. The second-stringers they've been using lately post more blog-like reviews.

Didn't Elizabeth Vincintelli leave the Post? Can't Winer move there?  She was tough, but I always enjoyed her reviews.

I always enjoyed her style of reviewing--she was/is a smart woman. It's sad to see the decline of theater reviewers in general, especially the women. Good luck to her wherever she may land.

Disheartening. I didn't always agree with her, but I loved reading her reviews.

She's about 70. I hope she gets to enjoy life.
