| Also enjoyed it (at the Public) for the reasons stated above. I remember how terrific Stephen Pasquale was in a fraught scene where he confronts Michael Christofer's character. That was the first time I understood he was a great actor, not just a singer who did musicals. Also loved Michael Esper in this. It was a complicated family drama and as always, it was thrilling to see a play with 11 characters that were really meaty and fleshed out. I read somewhere that Kushner wrote this for his friends and I guess he felt responsibility that they all have great parts. | |

| The published book (with a terrific cover) has notes on production history, character and setting, ‘an introduction, apology, a user’s guide’, and an appendix. We learn therein that the script was way behind schedule for the first production (at the Guthrie)and was being finished as the actors were being rehearsed. Yoiks! | |

| I suspect that shortly after millennium approaches, Kushner started to view deadlines as things that go rushing by and he may or may not meet them. Having a reputation for excellence can be intimidating if you're not confident what you've done lives up to your reputation (the last 20 years of perestroika rewrites seem to agree) | |

| Interesting, think I’ll purchase this just to see what the final ending was. Thanks! |
