Legendary in Britain, obscure in U.S.

Variety: "The disparity is unique: No other British playwright is so feted at home and so unrecognized in the U.S. Alan Ayckbourn at one point had five comedies running concurrently in the West End, has written a further 66 plays (plus more than 20 revues and children's plays) and is enough of a theatrical household name in the U.K. to have been knighted by the queen in 1997. So how come the 68-year-old playwright's American profile is so low?"
