| Perhaps I read the intentions of the piece differently, but I didn't come away from it thinking that Soloski was requesting (or demanding) that playwrights create scripts that align with her personal preferences, tastes or biases. What I took away from the essay was her identification -- correct, in my opinion -- of a glut of a certain type of play about this particular topic, posed alongside the question of why we're not seeing the counter-narrative explored as widely on stage. I think that's a valid point to make and falls well within the critical purview. She's not saying those plays would be better; in fact, she suggests they might not be as dramatically taut. But I don't see any reason why it would be a breach of critical ethics to wonder why such plays don't exist. |
