Covering a span of more than three decades  it includes previously published work from New York  the Hudson Review  National Review  Opera News  the New Leader  and other notable publications.  The theatre volume contains selected reviews that are as eloquent as they are famously provocative-reviews that can enrage but always entertain. Simon covers a wide range of New York productions  from the East Village to Broadway  examining all with the same rigor and high expectations.  A SAMPLE: Simon on Vanessa Redgrave in Long Days Journey into Night: The highly accomplished Redgrave gets some details right  but the overarching mental unstableness she exudes is so excessive as to make one wonder whether she is playing or being unhinged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44627338592309,"sku":"ByrdShop_1557835055","price":56.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781557835055.jpg?v=1784699067","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/john-simon-on-theater-criticism-19742003-applause-books-9781557835055","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
