More Food for Thought

From Rob at The Wicked Stage... A different perspective on the most produced plays, looking instead at the most produced playwrights. Before you click the link, who do you think it is? I'll tell you this: his list contains one African-American, one woman, one gay writer, 5 dead people, and one world premiere.

Make your guesses and then check it out.

Hurray! More theater for old people!

99, I've added a few writers to the list (double-checking my work and seeing a few big blind spots). Alas, no more women or writers of color, but 1.5 more gay people (and at least one more world premiere).

@Rob Weinert-Kendt
1.5 more gay people? How is that?

I think he's counting Coward as a half. He was bisexual, yes?

@99
Ah! I see. I thought maybe he was referring to a teensy-tiny gay playwright.

I don't think any gay little people or elves have made the list. Yet.
