Theatre Critics Are Thin-Skinned, Nervous And Overly Gentle, Says Theatre Exec

Nica Burns of Britain’s Nimax Theatres: “I do think critics tend to live in a bubble of their own. They are often very thinskinned and slightly nervous about the reaction they may find from those they criticise, and are actually far more gentle people than we actually need to have because we [the industry] do accept that [criticism] as part of the process.”
