Do we really need a revival of THE SUBSTANCE OF FIRE?

Maybe it's just me, but 2econd Stage seems to be doing a lot of unnecessary revivals of late. "Fire" is a terrific play but it's done with regularity around the country and there is a solid film version available as well. Just my 2-cents, but I think they should be doing new plays by new writers. And isn't that their mandate? I realize these theatre companies have to pay the bills, but too many of them seem to be programming things specifically with an eye toward filling their coffers. (Not that "Fire" is necessarily going to be a cash cow, but it does have some name recognition.) Roundabout's announcement that they're going to be doing "Noises Off" struck me similarly.
