...modern theater (specifically, “West Side Story”), music, cartoons, and even commercials. At the end of her argument, we cannot deny that as much as we have been influenced by this play, we have influenced how it is presently read.

But, in addition to the significant absence of Gwyneth Paltrow’s come-hither androgynous sultriness and sans Tom Stoppard??s once-over on the screenplay, Stage Beauty is a raucous, vulgar mess.
