Reviews
I sometimes wish all dramatists would follow Harold Pinter's example and resuse to explain what their plays are all about.
According to Stephen Berkoff his "West" is about the courage to be true to yourself, "which is worth pursuing since it defines who you are".
This strikes me as one of those meaningless pieces of guff which at first glance pass for profundities. Don't we define who we are by our every action, great or small, true or false, worthy or despicable ?
