Theater: Off Broadway
When it premiered on Broadway back in 1965, Frank D. Gilroy’s tight drama about a returning WWII soldier and his fragile Bronx family’s gradual peeling apart ran for two years, won the Best Play Tony and earned Gilroy that year’s Pulitzer for drama. Since then it’s been filmed once and adapted several times, though not in New York since 1991. But given its unflinching portrayal of an American culture in the midst of fundamental transformations (in the 40s, in the 60s and today) and dealing with war trauma (from WWII, from Vietnam, from Iraq), this Pearl Theater Company revival seems apt.
