Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-30 00:00:00 Nathan Tomlins Chris Durang is a supremely gifted & hilarious writer. Bwy, awash with cliches, needs his creative spirit. 3 plays here are knockouts. 'The Actor's Nightmare,' a tiered cake of comedy, shows what happens when a doofus accidentally finds himself improv'ing Coward & Shakespeare. 'Sister Mary..' reminds us (ouch--!) that relig is about Authority and Humiliation. Catholic or Otherwise, Durang says the Myth never answers Human Suffering. We dare not Question the Godhed. Relig is solely for simpletons. Durang's voice is the oppposite of what you have today in Hollywd slop where the laffs depend on obscenity & aah, yes, infantile vulgarity. Durang is an intelligent and civilized worldling. 'Beyond Therapy,' now a Pop classic in regional theaters, is a prickly gem of comedia. A personnel ad brings m/f together. "I hope I'm not too macho," he sighs, before explaining that he's bisexual. Both have crazed therapists. She tells hers, "You make no distinctions between sexual intercourse and push-ups." Philistines oft don't understand Durang's wit, but Robt Altman turned 'Therapy' into a beautiful film. "Switching from lunatic comedy to seriousness is something that interests me," says Durang. This is the best American comedy of the last 25 years. Bwy needs him. Where is he?
