The recent passing of a Stage Icon
in Arthur Miller asks me a question I'd like post:

What is your favorite stage play of all time? Dramatic, not musical or opera.

I had the honor of acting in three of Miller's plays. I had the lead in two (The Crucible and A View From A Bridge) and a supporting in Death of A Salesman as Biff.

I have acted in Simon, O'Neill and Williams plays, along with Inherit the Wind.

My favorite of all time is Inherit The Wind. . .simplistic, forward with a message that still applies today.

What's yours?

1. I'd say...
either "The Glass Menagerie," which always strikes a deep emotional chord in me. Or it would be one of two Shakespeare plays: "King Lear" (which rips your head off) or "Midsummer Nights Dream" (pure and magical fun).

2. Proof by David Auburn
I just loved that play - it really touched me for some reason.

4. "Titanic", by...oh, damn...they guy who wrote "Sister Mary Ignatius...
...explains it all for You". I'm drawing a blank on his name. Great play, though.
