Arthur Kopit's plays reflect diversity: the hilarious Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad, followed by Indians, a deeply felt social satire filled with humor and featuring a pompous Buffalo Bill, who both romanticizes and exploits the Native Americans. Wings, a sensitive and beautiful work, is about an older woman who has suffered a massive stroke. End of the World turns to humor to comment on the Bomb and the preposterous rationalization that to some justifies dropping it. Road to Nirvana, the author's most biting, daring play, surprises, and suggests, once again, the breadth and diversity of his imagination.
