AMERICAN THEATRE: I write from anxiety and urgency. Maybe you share those feelings. Maybe you share the assessment: civic brokenness, ideological entrenchment, rage in place of conversation. Maybe you share a growing despair about repair. I won’t even try to describe the election season we face (you have your own description, I’m sure), except to say I fear that—this past summer’s jolt of hope aside—the project of democracy, which has always been more aspirational than actual, might fall off the menu.
