Bad year for women of the south, from the sublime -- GLASS and STREETCAR -- to the, well, less subllime, STEEL. No surprises, really, about Lange and Richardson, both controversial, both with many naysayers in productions that had downbeat reviews. But it's a sad day for lovers of Williams, that his two finest plays are virtual no-shows in awards this season. I know, blame the productions. Okay, I guess we have to -- though I found much to admire in both (admittedly, the minority).
There was also quite a "signal" sent to Jukebox musicals: Basically, stay the f--k away from broadway. No surprise there, either.
