THE N. Y. THEATRE SCENE 2008 2009 REVIVALS PG 2

In addition to this exeptional GODOT production there were topflight revivals of ALL MY SONS, JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE, BLITHE SPIRIT, and THE NORMAN CONQUESTS. EXIT THE KING was clear to some,and confusing to others, THE SEAGULL arrived with an accomplished cast and spotty direction,and MARY STUART had two dynamic star performances in an otherwise uneven and unsatisfying production. EQUUS lacked the power and exitement of the original production, and SPEED THE PLOW made front page news when one of it's stars left after only playing his role for little more than a month.DESIRE UNDER THE ELMS lost it's fire and passion in a misconcieved and sexless production,and STREAMERS seemed rather dated even in it's well acted and directed production.
TO BE CONTINUED.
