Still good to see a commercial play resume performances in this day and age. The Sound Inside was easily the best play out of all the nominees, nothing profusely melodramatic nor intellectually condescending. The great performances elevated the already stellar script."
Yeah, not sure about the demand for this. The grosses were low and the show was heavily comped. It limped along through its “extension.” I really liked this play but it definitely felt like his senior thesis. The issues touched on were done in a very heavy handed yet superficial way. The show was provocative, well cast and well-designed which elevated the text.
I think Harris is more interested in being a celebrity than a writer.
