And then the pursuit begins. All those opening weeks of interested conversation, with the eyes more lively than usual, and each party finding the other's comments and insights more than usually charming and delightful. In case you're not familiar with the playwright Christopher Durang, let us introduce you by way of his old friend and collaborator, actress Sigourney Weaver, whom you probably already know of. We could continue to list her many credits, but we prefer to gracefully segue from Weaver to Durang, who is, after all, the focus of this article. The end is nigh and the end is final.
Life can be pleasant and diverting.
On that path lies madness. And here we were attempting to gracefully segue into a discussion of playwright Christopher Durang, and instead we are now wallowing into the angst of human existence. Please forgive us this disagreeableness and pray allow us to continue. Consider Neil Simon, the creator of mildly neurotic but lovable characters. Neil Simon makes us smile and sometimes laugh.
