“And if it’s not right You have to put it right." Lyrics from Matilda The Musical, which I reviewed on Monday. Then this morning (Wednesday), I linked on Twitter to the Washington Post piece commenting on all that was wonderful and horrible about Roald Dahl, a reminder that to err is human, to be racist or anti-Semitic is unacceptable, but that you can still be a genius with insights into the human condition.
Yeah, Roald Dahl was anti-semitic, but he's also been dead for 30 years so Jews win. I'm not gonna like WIlly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory any less, because its original author wouldn't break bread with me if given the chance. (Cause again, he's dead.)
THB: A Correction, Etc.
Shouldn’t. But if you send me an e-mail…
Link to script!
