Last year, Off Broadway gave us three great new plays: Eboni Booth’s “Primary Trust,” Brandon Jacob-Jenkins’ “The Comeuppance” and David Adjmi’s “Stereophonic,” to open on Broadway in April.
Now, just two months into the New Year, the city’s theater delivers another instant classic. It’s Itamar Moses’ “The Ally,” which had its world premiere Tuesday at the Public Theater. We always hear a lot about the Golden Age, which is always sometime many years, if not decades, in the past. Hello, theatergoers! We’re living in a golden age of great new American plays, and even a pandemic couldn’t stop it.
Granted, there’s something more than a little daunting about entering a theater and being told by the friendly usher that the play you’re about to see is just under three hours with an intermission.
