War Knows Exactly What It Is (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In several scenes in the HBO-Sky drama War, as a high-profile divorce escalates in both nastiness and total billable hours, one shrewd longtime attorney (played by a British TV and theater star you’re always happy to see; in this case, Nina Sosanya) will describe the strategy behind the maneuver she’s about to make. Then the show will cut to the other firm — a more modern outfit run by another group of well-trained British theater actors — announcing they’ve anticipated their rival’s plan and ha
Merritt Wever Would Do Anything to Get Out of This Interview (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Talking to Merritt Wever, 46, is an adventure in radical honesty. She’s a successful, thoughtful, in-demand actress who seems to be in a state of constant negotiation between the exhibition that comes with her art and her industry and her own impulse to keep some part of herself to herself. “I sometimes wish I could do my work,” she tells me, “without an audience.” When my colleague Kathryn VanArendonk went on a walk in 90-degree weather with her in Prospect Park in 2019 to discuss her work in t
Tension and Release: The Holes and America, Who Hurt You? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a thrill you can feel among an audience, akin to the moment when gravity takes over at the top of a roller coaster, when a playwright lets you all in on the big hook.

In Job, a breakout Off–Off Broadway work that made it to Broadway, a tech employee confronted her therapist with a gun and demanded to be reinstated at her job, and then the twists ensue
Good News: Pre-Existing Condition Has Recurred (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“You can attend, stay quiet, and just listen,” a facilitator instructs a group for women who have experienced domestic violence at the beginning of Marin Ireland’s Pre-Existing Condition. “Being in the room and listening is just as important as talking.” Played by a warm yet firm Dael Orlandersmith, she’s reciting the rules to newcomer—a role referred to as “A,” played by a rotating cast of actresses; in my case, Lupita Nyong’o—and instructing the audience. Cate McCrea’s set design has done over
The Paper Needs a Thesis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At certain less glorious moments in my career in journalism, I’ve neared the deadline of a piece I’ve hit a wall on and fallen back on the old trick of writing a lot of words and leaving it to my editor to guess what I’m trying to say. If you line up enough passable sentences and blabber on for a bit in random directions, you can almost fool people into thinking you have a thesis. Or at least that’s what you tell yourself. A good editor will notice right away and make you rewrite the piece. And
