Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 7/5 & Algonquin Round Table Quote of the Week
by Michael Dale - July 07, 2009

Great literature must spring from an upheaval in the author's soul. If that upheaval is not present then it must come from the works of any other author which happens to be handy and easily adapted.
-- Robert Benchley
