New York Times: "IN the theater there are many ways to honor tradition, and each comes at a price. A reactionary may cling to time-honored forms, even at the risk of going through empty motions. A radical going back to first principles may dismantle sound practice in the name of authenticity. Then there are the pragmatists who refuse to take sides, recognizing that in a living art form innovation is a tradition too."
