"I’ll go see The Diary of Anne Frank or Man of La Mancha, but the focus there is on the transcendent power of the spirit, not on the trampling of the protagonist."
There is SO MUCH more to PARADE than that, not to mention that it's core theme is as relevent now, albeit in a dark, disturbing way, than it ever has been.
Saying that PARADE is merely about the trampling of the protagonist is like saying GYPSY is merely about a bad mom. |
