To mark the CriticsÕ Circle centenary in 2013 we asked our members to write 100 words on the work of art or the performance that they felt had been of particular significance in their careers. Almost none of them stuck to 100 words, and we have ended up with slightly more than 100 of them, so enthusiastic were they. Their contributions will delight, perhaps shock and certainly surprise you. But what you will see here is a compendium of the great arts achievements that have made our critics not only appreciate art, music, drama, dance and film but love them.
