| I haven't seen this yet, but I've seen Bootycandy and Barbecue. After each one I thought that O'Hara shouldn't be directing his own works. I think he needs someone to help him cut the fat. But in the case of Mankind, it sounds as if the problems are inherent in the writing. | |

| I love "Bootycandy" and I enjoyed "Barbecue", but Others can't write forward action. His best plays are collages. With "Mankind", he's trying to write a linear narrative, but he doesn't have the skills for it. | |

| O'Hara could use a dramaturg he trusts, but his productions are vividly galvanizing. | |

| It's just a bad play, I think. Hard to imagine a different director could make it work. | |
