A Solid Playwright Worth Discovering,
By
This review is from: Five Plays (Paperback)
Michael Weller is not a flashy playwright, and though he has had great success over the years, I can't think of a "signature" style to his work. That is his strength. "Moonchildren" is one of the best plays about Vietnam (from the viewpoint of college students in the mid-60s). "At Home/Abroad" is about a couple realizing the limitations of their marriage, carried to a further degree by "Loose Ends". The pieces are all different, but share a seriousness hidden in wit. Weller is a playwright for actors who want parts with range and moments of revealing emotion; a playwright for directors who want to focus on the work and the text, with spectacle on a human scale; and a playwright for young adults who are beginning to recognize how love, career, and country still leave something lacking. I am glad to have discovered him, and I hope others will, too.
