All lists have their pros and cons, and this list is better than most, especially considering the people who are making it. Some choices are excellent, others head-scratching, and the fact that we don't agree on which play fits into which category suggests that they chose well.
There is one play that I wished had made the list, which is Lloyd Suh's deeply underappreciated "American Hwangap". A Korean-American family play with a hint of "Death of a Salesman", it's a lyrical, emotional, surprisingly complex story of a father who had abandoned his wife and children asking to be let back into their lives. |
