Interesting article in today's New York Times by Ben Brantley about the "comeback" of dramatic theater on Broadway this year.
A Dramatic Comeback for the Play
It's quite true: this has been a great year not just for plays but for serious, sometimes disturbing drama on Broadway. This year alone I saw "Journey's End", "Talk Radio", "Frost/Nixon" and "Cyrano", "Grey Gardens", none of which were feel good shows. And I still want to see "The Farnsworth Invention", "Rock N' Roll", and "August: Osage County."
If anyone out there has seen any really good plays this year, please let the Mr NYC readers (both of them) know about it.
Let's hope 2008 is as good!
