Not sure how my post is "self-aggrandizing". I wasn't criticizing McNally for making the playwright quasi-autobiographical. But then making him the moral arbiter of the play without giving him anything interesting to say or do was disappointing. And suggesting that he's some kind of noble saint is, as I said, "self-aggrandizing". I don't disagree that it's "star-driven", but so are THE ELEPHANT MAN, THE RIVER, HEDWIG and umpteen other good shows. I just wish this one lived up to the wattage of its performers.
