The Color of
Collateral
John Lahr (Log24 on 1/26 2003):
“The play’s narrator and general master of artifice is the Stage Manager, who gives the phrase ‘deus ex machina’ a whole new meaning. He holds the script, he sets the scene, he serves as an interlocutor between the worlds of the living and the dead, calling the characters into life and out of it; he is, it turns out, the Author of Authors, the Big Guy himself. It seems, in every way, apt for Paul Newman to have taken on this role.”
“It’s not easy being green.”

I’d forgotten that was a Scorcese picture. I wonder if Scorcese has forgotten, too.
