Do Not Miss…

Brendan Kiley’s most recent Theater News column, introducing the fascinating saga that unfolded after writer/performer agreed to publish a portion of her one-woman show Wreckage in the women’s magazine Glamour.

As Brendan’s column makes clear, the fallout was tremendous, and as I found with a wee bit o’ Googling, it’s ongoing. Here’s a treat from the IMDB message boards, linked beneath Weedman’s “Actor Profile”:

“THIS WOMAN IS AN EMBRASSMENT TO THE HUMAN RACE….THIS WOMAN DESERVES TO BE SHUNNED, EXCLUDED, INADEQUATE, DEPRESSED, AND IGNORED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE…AND THANKS TO GLAMOURS ARTICLE SHE WILL BE!”

Sheesh. Read the column, and if you ever get the chance, see the show, for it is amazing.
