Sull'Autore

Born in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Horovitz completed an unpublished novel at the tender age of 13. Since then he has written some four dozen plays that have been translated into many languages. The Indian Wants the Bronx (1968) won an Obie and the Vernon Rice Award and established him as an mostra altro absurdist in the Beckett--Ionesco tradition. His more recent plays have focused less on urban violence and more on Jewish family life and small-town problems. His plays have been frequently produced both internationally and in America's regional and college theaters. He is the first American to have been honored as playwright-in-residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company in England. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

Park Your Car in Harvard Yard di Israel Horovitz

I listened to this play courtesy of the L.A. Theatre Works broadcast on their website. Jason Robards & Judith Ivey were excellent and the play probably deserves a higher rating (added later - I have raised my 3.5* rating to 4* so this comment may not still apply). Ivey in particular did the Gloucester accent well (and I come from this area of the world).

My problem with it was personal - it hit a lot of buttons for me. Of course, now that I write that down I am thinking that is what a good play should do!
