...festival features appearances by Judy Collins, Joan Kennedy, Allen Ginsberg, and Colleen Dewhurst. Apparently Gutwillig snagged a few big names without the help of trademarks like the IOP or the Lampoon...
...much. The awkward playwright of Chekhov's script and Artistic Director Peter Sellars of the American National Theater in Washington share a bold if at times risible "search for new forms."

That happened with the trio's revival of A Moon for the Misbegotten, a flawed play that may never seem so moving again...
