He’s Still Got the Edge

Regarding “Tapering Off?,” Hilary de Vries’ feature on Gordon Davidson, and “Davidson Needs to Resharpen His Edge,” commentary by Sylvie Drake (May 31):

I hope I’m expressing what thousands have already written or communicated in some manner. Namely, to complain about the grossly unfair and gratuitously excessive criticism of Gordon Davidson’s 25 years. Have we forgotten that before his arrival in Los Angeles, theater was nonexistent, except for after-thought road companies?

He’s bold, daring and a risk-taker who has mostly still filled seats over his triumphant 25 years. A charming, gracious man, on whom God bestowed mankind’s greatest head of hair.

Thank you, Gordon Davidson, and please stay for another 25.
