On the Open Road: New York Shakespeare Edition (Applause Books) Kindle Edition

Set in a landscape stripped bare by civil war, two “independents” forge an alliance of convenience in order to buy their way into the land of the free, the one safe haven in an otherwise lawless landscape. Hiding from marauding armies, they travel the country, gathering great art treasures from crumbling museums. But with the border to freedom in sight, they're captured by forces from the new coalition government. They can still buy their freedom – if they agree to do one little job for the new government.

5.0 out of 5 stars a Sophisticated play
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2014
I saw this play in Baltimore 20 years ago,admittedly, by mistake thinking it was a play about THE civil war. Instead it was a play about a time of civil war set in any time. Little did I know the impact it would have on my outlook of man, and man's relationship with one another and God.

Most reviews I have read about this delve into the details of the dialogue, however the main lessons learned come from a realization that the details of the dialogue are meaningless. Three main themes:

What Man finds important becomes inconsequential over time
Man's relationship with one another is, at best, unstable
Man forms their own opinion of God and would more than likely kill Jesus again if he were to come back to life. God is a constant, and Man changes.

I really didn't care much for Steve Tesich's movies "American Flyers" and "Breaking Away" (mostly due to casting and bad acting) but this play is a gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 1999
This is quite simply the finest play in American drama. It goes next to "Waiting For Godet" as the quintessential play of the modern era. It is insightful, provocative, and hilarious. The protagonists, Al and Angel, are the heroes of a new time. Tesich was a genius and his death was a great loss to the theatre community. Once in a lifetime a play will change your life; this play is the one that changed mine.
