PICT's The Shaughraun revives an old-school melodrama.

Pittsburgh City Paper: "If you judge theater history by what actually winds up on stage, you could be forgiven for thinking that plays were made during one of only four periods: Greek antiquity, the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the Restoration and the 20th century. There's a lot from theater's past that never gets produced anymore. Everybody may go on about how Chekhov and O'Neill, for example, revolutionized theater ... but we never see what they revolutionized it from."
