HAVING been to see a recent production in the Joseph Rowntree Theatre I turned with interest to the review by Charles Hutchinson to see what he thought ("Fame beckons for hotbed of young talent," June 17).
I did not expect to find it beginning with derogatory remarks about an entirely different theatre group.
Surely a theatrical review is a stand-alone analysis of a production, not a "compare and contrast" exercise?
Even if Mr Hutchinson's snide comments were accurate, perhaps the phrase "other York groups" might have been more diplomatic than such bitter name-dropping.
