| In his letter (3 October) about Michael Billington’s review of King Lear, Frank Danes asks: “What is the point of reviewing productions we cannot get to see?” For me, a humble provincial living miles from theatreland, there is every point. Virtually every day the indefatigable Billington offers Guardian readers top-quality reviews of all manner of new theatrical productions all over the country. My chances of seeing any of them are minimal, but I know that any review by him will inform, judge, entertain and – most important – educate.Robin WendtChester | In his letter (3 October) about Michael Billington’s review of King Lear, Frank Danes asks: “What is the point of reviewing productions we cannot get to see?” For me, a humble provincial living miles from theatreland, there is every point.
