Theater review: Guthrie's 'Third' is first-rate

Star Tribune: "With death's shadow as her companion, playwright Wendy Wasserstein reached into her soul and drew out the reflective gem, 'Third.' Exhilarating in its melancholy -- much as that first snowfall of winter -- 'Third' is Wasserstein's quest into the wilderness of self-doubt and a call to reexamine that which once seemed fresh and righteous in our minds. Only when we grasp our fallibility, Wasserstein argues, can we begin to learn again and stride gracefully into life's final season."
