31. "Salvage" by Tom Stoppard


Finally, the trilogy is complete. Jack O'Brien has accomplished the feat of his career with these three productions. Tony's® all around. Thank you, Mr. Stoppard, for your genius and your artistry. There's more to be said, especially in response to Charles Isherwood's ignorant piece in Arts & Leisure this past weekend, but I've run out of patience. It's too bad people are afraid of theater that asks them to watch with a discerning eye and a hungry mind.

UPDATE: Still can't stop thinking about "Coast of Utopia." Now having seen all three parts, I want to go back and see them all in one shot. Does anyone have an extra marathon ticket?
