It’s a truth universally acknowledged among theatre critics, that if the seat from which you review a production on press night induces a pain in the neck (quite literally), it will likely have a demonstrable impact on your enjoyment of the production. Such was the unfortunate truth of my 41st review assignment at Park Theatre last evening, where I was scheduled to see FAREWELL MISTER HAFFMANN.
