Cleveland Plain Dealer
Director Michael Bloom didn't like Plain Dealer theater critic Tony Brown's review of "Rabbit Hole" and let him know that. The critic says Bloom gripped his hand and wouldn't let go, cursed him in a threatening way and then pounded him overly hard on the back as he left the theater. Bloom has apologized and the theater has hired a PR firm to deal with the incident. More ombud columns:
