Math rules!
From the dramatic side of life: The Playgoer has a list of the top 10 most produced plays of the past decade, and David Auburn's "Proof" is tops in a sprint. I saw "Proof" in the past decade (at Trinity Rep in Providence) and really liked it, but I haven't heard of a few of these. I'm inclined to buy the Playgoer's theory about why "The Glass Menagerie" gets produced over other, better Tennessee Williams plays, but a little shocked that it's the only "classic" up there.

One way to read this list is that there is a generation of new classics that are becoming accepted into the canon. It seems like this thing happens all at once, perhaps as one generation takes over from another as the decision-makers in schools or repartory companies or what have you.
