Bill Irwin may be the only performer of any kind who can claim to have
received a MacArthur "genius" fellowship, to have been nominated for a
Tony Award, and to have been inducted into the Clown Hall of Fame. A
gifted writer and an actor's actor, he is currently co-starring with
Sally Field in a hit Broadway production of last year's winner of the
Pulitzer Prize for drama, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? Those who
recognize an allusion to The Two Gentlemen of Verona in playwright
Edward Albee's subtitle will no doubt recall that Mr. Irwin played
Trinculo in a New York Shakespeare Festival production of The Tempest
and Snout in director Michael Hoffman's recent film of A Midsummer
Night
