I'm amazed...Thank you for this article, Rob. <br /><br />I'm amazed at some of the reasons Katori Hall was given, as to why her plays were not produced. "We've already done an August Wilson piece this season" strikes me as particularly sad: the author of this comment seems to see Mr. Wilson's extraordinary body of work as being by a BLACK man, primarily, and its value as theater, as plays, as somehow secondary. <br /><br />Also, would any theater tell an author, "We've already done a play by a WHITE STRAIGHT GUY"? If not, why is it permissible to say "we've already done a play by a black lesbian?" Brendan McCallhttp://www.ensemblefreetheaternorway.comnoreply@blogger.com
