Balm in Gilead

Not Avail, 1998

Honest
Honest is the only way to describe Lanford Wilson's Balm in Gilead. The title refering to the biblical verse about a balm to heal the mortal souls of sinners only scratches the surface of the lost individuals one finds in this funny, heart wrenching balad of street life. You will never pass by the homeless, prostitutes, and drug addicts and see them in the same way. You will identify.

Dramatist's Play Service, 2001

A new masterpiece
I saw this play in St. Louis and was astounded by it. After the first act, you realize you're watching a well-wrought play, populated by strong, quirky characters, interesting situations, and fascinating, complex relationships, all the things you expect from Wilson. But it doesn't seem like the best play he's ever written, as quite a few people have claimed. With works like Fifth of July, Burn ...

Dramatists Play Service, 1998

FUNNY THOUGHTFUL ENSEMBLE
The letter 'E' is burned out on the neon lighted lettering of the aging, scheduled to close Hotel Baltimore and the assorted low income residents and workers are going through their daily routine while the wrecking ball looms nearby. This urban themed play about the network of support these city dwellers have built for one another is poignant and comically abrasive, very 70sish, and while all the ...

Just right
This play is a meaningful, and yet almost simple, masterpiece. The story unfolds with the death of a gay man, which ultimately brings an unlikely match closer together. Wilson's use of homosexual issues is the perfect sprinkling: it is not the main focus of the play, but gives it just the extra touch. This is how homosexuality should be written about in the theatre (or any form of ...

Lanford Wilson

Dramatists Play Service, 1967

"People don't care! They don't see. What they want to think they think; what they don't they don't."
Living in Eldritch, a nearly abandoned Bible Belt town which was formerly a center of coal-mining, the remaining residents are hard-pressed to find much to do, other than to gossip about each other and attend church activities run by the hell-fire-and-damnation preacher. Anyone who is different from the norm is ostracized--a senile old woman, the town derelict living in a shack, the woman who ...
