Playwrights in Conversation: John Guare and Christopher Durang

Two major voices of the American theater talk about their lives and work. Guare is guided by a steady, poetic hand, whether he's delving into personal politics (Six Degrees of Separation) or larger themes (A Free Man of Color). Absurd whirligigs have always been Durang's thing, digging into religion (Miss Witherspoon) and pop culture (Betty's Summer Vacation) with zeal.
