English | 2013 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 0786474955 | EPUB | 0,7 mb
This first book-length work on Terrence McNally shows how his decades in the theater have refined his thoughts on subjects like growing up gay in mannish, homophobic Texas, Shakespeare’s legacy in contemporary drama, and the life-giving power of forgiveness. McNally believes that the ability to forgive-a challenge to even the most high-minded-confirms our humanity because the wrongs done to us usually don’t deserve to be forgiven. The author shows how McNally’s impeccable timing, his instinct for a good laugh line, and his preference for physical sensation and character over Description helps him reveal both what’s important to his people and why his people are important. These revelations can shake up audiences while providing a great evening at the theater.
