That is hardly the fault of the nearly flawless production that Seven Guitars is being given in its world premiere at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. It has been directed with both theatricality and honesty by Walter Dallas, an experienced interpreter of Wilson who was brought in when Lloyd Richards, who has directed the premiere of every other Wilson play, had to bow out because of a health problem.

...allowed to derail an employee's discrimination suit by unearthing evidence of past misconduct that would have independently justified the firing of the worker? No, said a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court, ruling that discrimination suits are too important to be thrown out of court by after-the-fact fault finding; but past misconduct may be used to limit the remedy available to the worker by, for example, excluding the possibility of reinstatement...
