It grated me to no end as well that an entire B’way cast in 2007 (even if the play is sent in the 20s and 30s, would not have one minority character — EVEN in a TOKEN ROLE.

The cast was lilly-white. The show was a Xmas gift.

I would never have chosen this show if I’d known.

Add all that to the fact that the theater is VERY small and the seats are cramped as hell. Horror.

His problem is that he is facile. It can bug people – especially critics or other writers.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Aaron Sorkin, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
