Affectionate new bio looks at Terrence McNally's life and work

DC Theater Arts: This biography is an affectionate look at the life and works of playwright Terrence McNally, prolific author of plays, musicals, and operas. Theater editor Christopher Byrne writes passionately about McNally’s talents, arguing that he wrote from honesty, using the artificiality of theater to tell truths about the human conditions. Throughout McNally’s career, Byrne suggests, he was ahead of his time and the culture simply had to catch up to him.
