In a recent article in the NY Times, Theatre critic Charles Isherwood wrote that he will no longer review any further work of playwright Adam Rapp. Isherwood wrote: 'After all, reading my view that his latest, 'Dreams of Flying Dreams of Falling,' was 'an empty farrago' probably didn't make Mr. Rapp's day. But I bet that he didn't rush to the New York Times Web site during the opening-night party, or indeed read my review at all. By this point Mr. Rapp surely knows where I stand on his work, which is to say (perhaps from his point of view) jumping up and down on it.'
