Steven Dietz is an American playwright whose work is largely performed regionally, i.e. outside of New York City. Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Dietz graduated in 1980 with a Theater degree from the University of Northern Colorado. He is the recipient of the PEN U.S.A. Award in Drama (for Lonely Planet); the Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays Award (Fiction and Still Life With Iris); and the Lila Wallace/Reader's Digest Award (The Rememberer). Halcyon Days is one of his other successful plays. Many of his plays are very political. He lives in Seattle.
The actual “book” of a play is hard to review as it’s not the medium the author has chosen to present it. With that in mind, there is some difficulty with simply reading 10 November. But the spirit of the event is well captured and the lakers themselves are well represented. A fine cap stone after reading a history of the FITZGERALD.
The mixture of drama and music really fits the story and facts that created this play. I love the ensemble feel, and how the actors are many different characters during the length of the play.
