Three of Terrence McNally’s Collaborators Remember His Life and Legacy
Terrence McNally, a towering force in modern American theater who died on March 24 of complications from the coronavirus, had a career that spanned five decades. He wrote farces, dramas and books for musicals. He also had a talent for dramatizing gay lives, middle-aged romances and fading opera divas in works like “Love! Valour! Compassion!,” “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune” and “Master Class.” Three of McNally’s collaborators and friends share their thoughts on the Tony Award-winning playwright’s life and legacy.
