| David Mamet, Tom Stoppard, David Hare, Terrence McNally, Alan Ayckbourn all come to mind. (Admittedly, Stoppard and McNally debuted a little before 1970.) He may have the record within the last twenty years, however. I don't have time to do the math :). I saw HANGMEN at the Court (twice) and loved it. I'm surprised it didn't get a Broadway berth, as it's a very accessible and fun show (despite the grim subject matter). I hope that his success with THREE BILLBOARDS- which didn't thrill me as much as it did many people- doesn't keep him from writing more plays. We have Jez Butterworth to fill in, hopefully. I just saw THE FERRYMAN and was knocked out by it. With 22 characters it will be expensive on Broadway, although it could work in a smaller house, too. (Another Royal Court transfer: Londoners are lucky: they can see those shows for as little as £10 on a Monday night.) |
