The Hero Trilogy: When You Comin Back, Red Ryder? the Heart Outright the Majestic Kid

Mark's earlier plays are often forgotten next to his Children of a Lesser God. It's tragic though because he wrote exceptional early work. My favorite is The Heart Outright. I loved it because it's one of the only few plays that really show a love of movies. The main character is a movie bum like myself.:) When you Comin back Red Ryder, though is written in the style of the melodramatic western...which I think was very clever. The trilogy is some of the best work of the theatre.
