Theatrical Darwinism at work. I liked the Tavern better in the 90’s before it expanded. I hated the name New American Shakespeare Tavern. It is so pretentious. The work kept getting worse. I haven’t been in years. It would be nice to see it come back in a few years, staffed by people with talent and vision.

The current artistic/management of The Tavern should be allowed to go bankrupt. As the economy recovers the building could be revived with new personnel, hopefully people with greater vision and talent than Watkins and Co. For several years the shows have been just, well, lazy. Dan Hulbert’s honesty about the Tavern is missed.

For twenty-five years the only talent Jeff Watkins has displayed is for hucksterism. The Tavern has long been artistically bankrupt. Send your money to Georgia Shakespeare Festival.

Once this completely unnessacary theater closes can we wall up that eyesore of a facade. I find it insulting that Peachtree Street sould celebrate an era in English history which was actively populating Georgia with African slaves.

Based on the current production of “The Canturbury Tales” this theater should close post-haste. The acting runs the gamut from amatuerish to awful, and the script shows that just because something is old does not make it worth reviving. The show is misogynistic to the point of insulting, as is the shameful lack of diversity.
