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.
