This letter’s about a month old, but let’s look at it anyway. It’s from the greatest of all letters pages, the Northeast Times‘. And it concerns the Times‘ kids column — cleverly titled “Kids Stuff.”
And, of course, someone is upset by it.
I have enjoyed William Feldman’s Kid’s [sic] Stuff since he began the column several years ago. But last week I was more than a bit shocked when he was doing a review of the play Chicago, which is by no means kids’ stuff.
It has adult themes, adult drama, skimpy costumes and nothing that would be appropriate to anyone below their teenage years, aka, “kids.”
Please understand that I love William’s writing — he is a very talented young man (emphasis on man), nor do I have a problem with the show Chicago — I found it very entertaining! But is Chicago something to be published under a Kids Stuff theme? I think not.
Adult drama! Skimpy costumes! Is nothing sacred anymore?
