TOD:
I spent my early teens watching Jon Jory direct at Actors Theater of Louisville. One month, he would direct a crackerjack revival of Wodehouse’s The Play’s the Thing or Barrie’s What Every Woman Knows and the next, he’d be all over the place with a misbegotten Cyrano or Julius Caesar. I don’t know why some succeeded and others failed, but I have such a warm feeling for those days. The Humana New Plays Festival introduced me to new works like Gin Game and Agnes of God. I saw Shaw, Fugard, Preston Jones, Ayckbourn, a special Morning’s at Seven, and so much more.
