The Gilded Age...

Today I begin the awards campaign for @petermarksdrama’s rapid-fire theatre-centric one-liners regarding the Broadway-caliber cast of “The Gilded Age.” I’m thinking either a Pulitzer or the Mark Twain Prize.

The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today .: Novel . Illustrated
Charles Dudley Warner
Trivia I know from theatre: the much-discussed HBO series “The Gilded Age” draws its title from an 1873 novel by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner. I know this because in 1986 @HartfordStage and @TheActingCo premiered and toured a stage version of the novel. https://t.co/z7R17N144t

Buried Child
Sam Shepard
...starting with his @YaleRep production of Sam Shepard's “Buried Child” in the late 1970s, which I have long identified as the play that changed my life, that cemented my desire to make theatre my profession. (2/6)
