“While American theatergoers lament that nonmusical drama on Broadway belongs to the British (and in the ’80s so did a large share of the musicals), the English busily stage works that writers such as Arthur Miller or Tony Kushner can’t get premiered in the United States. This probably says something about the relatively greater sophistication of British audiences. Still, the fascination with secondary plays by our first-rank playwrights can be mystifying to an American – rather like that French thing for Jerry Lewis films. What’s the attraction?” – Washington Post
