The Rehearsal Discussion Thread (Patreon)

Hey all. Sorry I've been mired in a bunch of script crap this week, but I was planning on writing this big thing about the end of The Rehearsal and Synecdoche; NY, but honestly, after the finale I'm kind of just sitting with it and may need to do it for a long time. 

The thing about the show and any criticism of it is that the show is honestly doing more interesting version of whatever the criticisms are being thrown against it - it's practically part of the conceit. Every layer, thought, and element of discomfort is present right in the text, often brought to life by the actors hired to voice those criticisms. It's all there. I guess I more just wanted people to have a space for to get out whatever visceral reactions they had to all of it. From the public response, some people have them - and are definitely right to have them. But I feel like a lot of people are just thrown very inward by all of it and kind of feeling a stunned silence. At least, that's been my reaction today.
