There's a book called "No Turn Unstoned: the Worst Ever Theatrical Reviews"
by Diana Rigg. She asked dozens of actors and actresses for their worst
reviews and did some rearch to find historical ones.

One I howled over was the letter from the editor of a US West Coast
newspaper telling a Mr. R. Kipling not to submit again until he'd learned
to write clearly and gramattically.
