...portly special-ed teacher from Philadelphia is in prison in Honduras now, but once upon a time, as his diary relates, Daniel Gary Rounds was in "paradise." His paradise lies beyond the prison gates and through the storm-ravaged Honduran countryside. Just outside the local Pizza Hut in the town of La Ceiba, boys addicted to sniffing glue work the streets until gringos offer to buy them shoes or let the boys watch TV in their hotel rooms. For many it is a chance to take their first hot shower or get the $10 they need to buy several weeks...

...Center Stage, in Baltimore, Md. With little obvious effort, Wilson rivets our attention on the daily struggles of a half-dozen ordinary but entirely individual characters while gradually homing in on the explosive conflict between two: the cab company's owner and his estranged son, just released from prison after 20 years. Unusual for a Wilson play, Jitney loses some momentum in the second act; but it's still a major work by a major artist...
