Welcome to the Blogosphere, Mr. Brantley

Yes, at long last, Ben Brantley blogs.

Albeit on the Times' house blog ArtsBeat. But still.

And a perfect occasion: a London theatre tour. Day 1: Orlando Bloom's West End debut.

I just hope they will also get Charles Isherwood to do the same the next time he goes on the road to see American theatre.
