On Writing : The Stage: Playwright Lisa D’Amour’s "Airline Highway" is set in The Big Easy by LindaAnn Loschiavo

New York, NY --- It is uncommon for up-and-coming playwrights to make it to Broadway nowadays that Lisa D’Amour’s “Airline Highway” is astonishing. WSJ critic Terry Teachout wrote: After its premiere last year by Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company, it has transferred to Broadway mostly intact, and Joe Mantello’s production, in which set designer Scott Pask has put a good-sized chunk of a seedy New Orleans motel onstage, is a young author’s dream. Terry Teachout wrote: "I wish the play were as good, but it’s a wholly derivative piece of work that has been knocked together from refurbished spare theatrical parts." http://www.wsj.com/articles/airline-highway-review-a-young-playwrights-v...
