"Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad" in D.C.
The American Century Theater in Arlington, Virginia, has resuscitated Arthur Kopit's outrageous 1962 farce, written as the buttoned-up 1950s began moving tentatively toward becoming the wide-open 1960s. The playwright was 22 and in graduate school when he wrote it in 1959—in five days.
