That's the rough plot sketch of Ambition, a play currently in South Florida theaters, according to Miami New Times. "Within minutes of curtain-up, it becomes apparent that [writer/director Jim] Tommaney knows nothing about the practices of alternative newsweeklies," New Times critic Brandon K. Thorp writes. "We critics do not dictate our stories, and our editors do not cower before us (quite the opposite). Nor do they glory in negativity (again, quite the opposite; editors love it when we can say something nice about the local arts community -- it is the community to which they have the most philosophical allegiance)."
