Neil Simon: Profile's 2008-2009 Featured Playwright
Posted 05/01/08
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that next year Profile's season- long relationship will be with none other than the great American playwright Neil Simon. Author of over 30 plays, Neil Simon is considered by many to be the world's most successful playwright. He has received more Academy and Tony award nominations than any other writer and is the only playwright to have had four Broadway productions running simultaneously (1966: Sweet Charity, Star Spangled Girl, The Odd Couple, Barefoot the Park) and has had more plays adapted to film than any other American playwright, in addition to writing a number of original screenplays, himself."
The Oregonian Raves: Landscape of the Body
Posted 03/11/08
"Early in John Guare's Landscape of the Body a man in Groucho Marx glasses tries to impress a woman on the deck of a Nantucket ferry by using a postcard of the passing Kennedy compound to point out which house is whose. He finds, however, that the postcard has the buildings wrong. It doesn't, as he says, "match up to reality."
