Why theatre

I'm just about to start rehearsals for "The Sunset Limited," by Cormack McCarthy. I found a quote from Mr. McCarthy, author of "No Country for Old Men," "The Road," and the pulitzer winning, "Blood Meridian" He says, "I have no respect for authors who fail to deal with matters of life and death. Mr. McCarthy certainly earns his own respect in "Sunset Limited." Two men, slammed together on a subway platform, spend a few hours together in a tenement flat in NY City, in a brilliant verbal duel on the meaning of life.
