...this obviously is not all. Look Homeward, Angel, a play that demands comparison with Winesburg, is one of the most powerful, touching dramas to have reached Broadway in years. And Look Homeward, Angel is also based on a famous novel about a sensitive young man's growing and groaning in a small town...
...relative power of the two plays in a way simply reflects the relative force of Thomas Wolfe and Sherwood Anderson--Wolfe a chaotic, massive, but overwhelmingly vital power, and Anderson a smaller, more controlled talent. Whereas Angel as a book has the solid core but lacks shape, Winesburg, despite its wellshaped phrases, has a weaker core. Therefore a stage craftsman can, by pruning and shaping, transfer and even intensify much of Thomas Wolfe; the only important element lost in making Angel into a play was the visible stagnation and oppressive boredom, which are communicable far more easily in a long...

However, your readers will probably be interested to know that in his three years as an English major at Rollins College, he appeared in many plays under the very able direction of Professor Howard Bailey...
...Drop of a Hat (Michael Flanders and Donald Swann; Angel). An irreverent, off-key assault on an assortment of sacred cows by the two-man cast of a witty London revue.

To flesh them out she draws upon The Book of Jubilees, a Hebrew document, probably of the 3rd or 4th century B.C., that purports to be a series of messages about the history of mankind given to Moses by an angel. By far the most interesting elements in the book are provided by the latest diggings in Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers...
