Overview
While contemporary culture may be fixated on youthful sex appeal, the
most complex and interesting characters in dramatic literature have been
(and still are) those over 40 years old. Whether it's Willy Loman in
Death of a Salesman, Gorgeous Teitelbaum in Wendy Wasserstein's Sisters
Rosenzweig, or Troy the former big leaguer in August Wilson's Fences,
these characters have a texture and a gravitas that can't be found in
younger roles.
