I know ...Debra, thanks so much for the kind words. I know what you mean about the era of Miller and Williams. And don't forget that the major O'Neill plays (ICEMAN COMETH, LONG DAY'S JOURNEY, etc.) were getting their first productions during that time too. But we're also in a pretty exciting time right now. Playwrights like Annie Baker, Stephen Adley Guirgis, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Stephen Karam, Suzan-Lori Parks and Lynn Nottage (among others) are doing some really fine work that often gives me as much pleasure as that of the old masters.broadwayandmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341306991759322581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797035092645713329.post-55827176417869029852016-03-02T15:11:52.794-05:002016-03-02T15:11:52.794-05:00Jan, it's always appreciated when lesser known...Jan, it's always appreciated when lesser known works of well-known playwrights, as well as, brand new works are produced. I enjoyed your review! <br /><br />I wish there were as many new great plays that make it to Broadway and off Broadway as there seemingly are of revivals of old great plays. I can only imagine what it must have been like to live in the era of the first showings of "A Street Car Named Desire," "The Glass Menagerie," and Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" and "The Death Of A Salesman." Hopefully we'll have future golden ages of movies and plays. (IMO, television via cable is pretty good right now.)Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.com
