The acting of Charles Isherwood, playing the role of Charles Isherwood, was magnificent, enchanting even.

Review of "Charles Isherwood's Firing" by Charles Isherwood...

The acting of Charles Isherwood, playing the role of Charles Isherwood, was magnificent, enchanting even. By turns fiery and wonderfully droll, the audience can't help but be mesmerized by his insightful passion for Theatre...

Sadly, the role of his boss was not nearly as well-acted. The performance was one-note, a caricature of the overly self-important toady promoted above competence thanks to a prolific ability to brown-nose the superiors: the audience has no doubt seen this before, and feels let down by the perfunctory nature of this disappointing lackey...

Reading between the lines, this show can be seen as an example of the world that exists now under Trump: the scapegoating of those who dare to tell the truth, and in this light Isherwood shines as an example of stoic bravery in the face of incompetence, if not utter madness...

I see great things in the future for Charles Isherwood: a star that bright cannot be confined to such a small stage, and no doubt a bigger stage awaits his arrival....
