A letter was printed recently praising a Charles Hutchinson review (July 8). The Last Supper performance may have indeed been magnificent and moving - but since when has that stopped Charles' viperish criticisms?

Maybe in a moment of religious angst he felt some form of God-like wrath may strike him down should he not give the play his blessing. Perhaps he was not feeling well.

Charles, please remember to many in York you are the Simon Cowell of the reviewing world - your skills encourage those of us who cannot achieve perfection to keep striving for it.
