Well, if it is worse than "Prymate," it must be really bad!

Poor Mark Medoff. Bashed forever on BroadwayWorld because of Prymate. I still look back fondly on the stage version of his Children of a Lesser God and that devastating scene when John Rubinstein badgers Phyllis Frelich to speak. Still one of the most memorable, harrowing scenes in a lifetime of theatregoing.

There's no doubt that "Children of a Lesser God" is a masterpiece. Medoff should've won the Pulitzer for it.

I think it lost to Talley's Folly? That's a tough choice - they are both wonderful plays. The early 80s on Broadway featured a great number of terrific American plays.

Yes, it did lose to "Talley's Folly". That really is tough.
