Am I Missing Something?

FM-FM: Comment
In my daily search for the new Arthur Miller, Harold Pinter, Anton Chekov, Samuel Beckett, John Millington Synge, Henrik Ibsen Tennesse Williams, Eugene O'Neill etc., I seem to find reviews of new plays that have excited the reviewer but does not say the work is the new benchmark for drama or reflects the traditions these playwrights established. Even more, a new playwright that is cutting his/her way through the jungle of greatness towards a clearing uniqely their own. Clifford Odets is currently enjoying a brief time before audiences, but revivals are not what I am talking about. It's ground breaking, revolutionary, cathartic work that seems to have missed me. Today, a review of "Shining City" by Conor McPherson is very interesting and very favorablly reviewed.. A "quiet, haunting and absolutely glorius new play." Could it be that we have exhausted the muse of epic plays and must settle for quiet and haunting?
