For more than 15 years Jonathan Kalb has been a singularly perceptive commentator on American and European theater. Whether he is writing about revivals of the classics or the avant-garde work of Robert Wilson and Richard Foreman, he brings to his subject wit, intelligence and critical discipline that are distinctly his own. He targets the cliches that, like ghosts, haunt so many contemporary plays, and challenges the commonplace judgments that so often prevail in response to what's appearing on our stages. This collection begins with a brave and piercing appraisal of the state of current theater criticism, in a section Kalb characteristically calls "Critical Mess." He goes on to revisit the work of Samuel Beckett, as performed in well-meaning efforts to bring it to a new, wider (TV) audience; to consider today's political theater, particularly in the flourishing form of one-person shows; to explore the theatrical landscape of a reunited Germany, where the Berliner Ensemble is no longer a showcase for the East, and finally to cover what's going on back home in New York-everything from The Lion King and Dame Edna to plays of David Mamet and Arthur Miller (new and old) and to the latest trends in the Broadway musical. In all, these essays and reviews by a winner of the George Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism set a new standard for theater writing today. Jonathan Kalb, the head of the theater department at New York's Hunter College, has been drama critic for The Village Voice and New York Press and is a regular contributor to The New York Times, Salmagundi and American Theatre. He Lives in Brooklyn with his wife, the artist Julie Hefferman and two sons, Ollver and Sam.

Four days before his death on June 5, 1801, Robert Richard Randall signed a remarkable will, which provided that his mansion and 21-acre farm be used to maintain and support "aged, decrepit, and worn out sailors". However, as the 1820s approached, and land values began to soar, the legislature was asked to modify the Randall will so that Sailors' Snug Harbor could be built somewhere other than the Randall farm. In May 1831 a 130-acre farm overlooking Upper New York Bay and the Kill van Kull was purchased on Staten Island for $10,000. Year-by-year buildings were added until there were 55 major structures. The Harbor produced its own electricity and steam, grew its own food, and had its own water supply, a church, cemetery, hospital, theater, library. At the start of the twentieth century, more than 1,000 old sailors were in residence. Beginning in 1950, as part of a 'modernization and improvement plan, ' two dozen buildings on the Staten Island property were bulldozed. Next on the destruction list were the Sailors' Snug Harbor dormitories which would replaced by a 120-bed modern infirmary insisted upon by the State Department of Health . At this point, the city's new Landmarks Preservation Commission stepped in. On October 14, 1965, at its first designation hearing, the Commission landmarked and saved the old dormitories. Property for a new institution for the old sailors was found in Sea Level, North Carolina, down the road from a hospital just taken over by the Duke University Medical Center. Citing the proximity of Duke's hospital to the new Harbor site, New York's surrogate court approved relocation. Mayor John Lindsay, in June 1973, announced a plan to turn the Sailors' SnugHarbor buildings into a national showplace of culture and education. Over the years, the Sailors' Snug Harbor has housed various cultural institutions, including the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Arts, the Staten Island Botanical Garden, and the Staten Island Children's Museum.
