Though this play has received the ‘Pulitzer Prize for Drama’ and the ‘Olivier Award’ and ‘every award for best play ever,’ I’m sure that some part of Bruce Norris has secretly been waiting for my validation. I finally saw it last night at the Mark Taper Forum, and I have to say: Bruce – take a load off, because your play is REAL good. It’s one of those incredible plays that makes you wish, or want to be, more intelligent as a human being. And so I spent the morning learning about a nearly extinct kind of tree frog, and Lindsay Lohans thoughts and feelings about hosting SNL, in general.
