But the Brit blogger Chris Wilkinson punks out and regurges the same weak crap I dismiss in ” ‘World Class’ = Fighting Words”, going all weak-kneed for Louis Broome’s empty and conflicted call for “revolution”, as if that red herring held any more inherent meaning than the phrase “world class.”

Hey England, I thought we already settled the revolution thing with you.  You really want us to crack open that whoop-ass can again? Heck, I’m game. Let’s toss all the English plays in the Charles River along with their tea.  I would be only too happy to see the sun set on the Age of British Theatrical Empire.

    Billy, blame Broome. He’s the one calling for the revolution. I’m happy with reform.
    But note: I didn’t say we’d burn the scripts, just toss them in the water. Since when have you minded getting a little wet?
    (BTW: kudos to your theatre geekery that you didn’t even go near Shakespeare or Shaw. Gawd love ya!)

    Clearly, Chris Wilkinson recognizes genius when he sees it.
    You’re “happy with reform?” Since when did you turn milquetoast?
