...The One-Minute Pundit

Monday, May 09, 2005


John Simon writes a eulogy for our theater:

Glengarry’s two acts last 105 minutes; I reckon that just by cutting the "dirty" words, the whole thing could be turned into a slightly oversize one-acter.

"[W]hat are we to make of a theater -- of a culture -- that considers this stuff high art?" asks Mr. Simon. Ask your typical AD-BLURB COPYWRITER. HE knows.

Any piece of devious one-upmanship pulled by the sleazy characters elicited thunderous approval, even applause. Clearly, this play is something not just to watch but to be wallowed in.

No, ask the P-Ulitzer "winner" Stephen "PROTRUSION" Hunter. He DEFINITELY knows.
