its flavor mawkish
the soupy play left bad tastes
in our agog maws

In fairness, I never saw Dames at Sea (pictured left), but... really? In 2014?

Also, I have to say I've never seen a bad play... some I didn't like, or didn't "get" or couldn't hear very well. I have deep appreciation for the craft and the hard work and courage it takes to do what they do, night after night...

Let's hear it for actors! [clapping]

DEFINITION of this 2-syllable adjective:

characterized by sickly sentimentality; weakly emotional; maudlin.
