BWW Reviews: Acting Soars as Writing Falls in NEXT FALL
The reasoning behind staging a Tony Nominee for Best Play is quite easy to understand. Plays that have either been nominated for or won a Tony are easily marketable to the public. Still there is that occasional Tony nominated play that is a complete head scratcher, a play so poorly written it's baffling that it made it to Broadway in the first place, let alone snag a nomination for Best Play.
