It’s All Blue in Theater
October 16th, 2008, by Boris
The New York Times ran a fascinating piece on ideology and theater. Turns out that, unlike literature where a couple of big names are right-leaning, (secular) theater is almost exclusively blue. David Mamet is one of the few exceptions. The article points to Saul Bellow, Mark Helprin, and V.S. Naipul as the literary rightists. I’ve only read the latter’s A House for Mr. Biswas, and it wasn’t particularly conservative.
