Description

The following are several personal critique's of this play in it's original form by friends and acquaintance in the theatre industry. Tompkins Square Park by Howard G. Allen is a shocking revelation about the homeless in New York City in Nineteen Hundred Ninety. It is the most realistic portrayal of the homeless that has ever been written. It is raw and shocking about what the homeless have to go through in New York City and I am sure every large city across America. Not since Eugene O'Neill has a playwright brought such realism to a play. This play can be compared to Long Days Journey Into Night and The Iceman Cometh. The title of this play could very well be called Long Nights Journey Into Day. Holly Wertheimer, fi lm and video editor, CBS. After reading this play it touched something in the inner core of my being. An experience that I have never had in my lifetime. I can't wait to see it on the stage of Broadway. He gives a face to the homeless. Arthur Miller, playwright. If you are a person that likes plays such as Mary Poppins or Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang then you will probably not like this play, but if you are a person that likes deep drama in the genre of the Greek Tragedies, Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, then you will love this play. It is a play with a message. Gene Frankel, director, teacher. Just from the message of this play I would recommend it to all serious dramatist to read and study. Peter Boyle, actor. Mr. Allen has a true ear for the dialogue of the street people, the homeless, the people that are forgotten by mid-stream America. He understands them like no other person, unless he was one of them. Marta Beatriz Samper, actress, artist, poet, Strasberg Alumnus. This play is a must read for any person that is serious about the American Drama. It reads like a novel and sucks you into the foetal position of wanting to be protected from the tragedy of living on this Earth as a homeless person. Susan Strasberg, actress. Howard Allen is a graduate of the dramatic workshop and an alumnus of Herbert Berghof School of Drama both of which are located in New York City. Mr. Allen also took acting classes for one semester with Stella Adler and Lee Strassberg back in the nineteen sixties. In Mr. Allen's earlier years he spent several seasons with the Louisville Theatre Guild in Kentucky and the Clarksville Little Theatre in Indiana. Founder of the Troupe Repertory Company in New York City, Mr. Allen left the troupe after four years of being the director and was the founder of another repertory company, the New York City League of Playwrights. Mr. Allen resides in New York City and now spends most of his time writing plays and novels, songs and poems while smoking his cigars and drinking his wine reminiscing about space and time and dreaming of all that was sublime.
