What is The Substance of Fire, and Other Plays about?

"Marked by the aching articulation, scathing wit and deep convictions of a mature artist with a complete vision."--Frank Rich, The New York Times "If Arthur Miller had married Noel Coward, their son would have been Robbie Baitz." --Andr Bishop, from the Preface Jon Robin Baitz startled the theatrical world with the 1985 debut of The Film Society . A frank examination of the controlling forces behind a nearly bankrupt private school for boys in South Africa, The Film Society introduced a young playwright with an extraordinarily mature grasp of people, language and society. Baitz's recent works have fulfilled his early promise and enhanced his reputation. In The Substance of Fire (1991), a fiercely intellectual New York publisher struggles with his children for control of his business, and with the relentless pride which has made him previous to love. In The End of the Day (1992), an expatriate British doctor adapts to America by abandoning his ideals and succumbing to the twin lures of status and crime. Jon Robin Baitz is the author of Three Hotels , The Film Society , Other Desert Cities , The End of the Day , and The Substance of Fire , which he adapted into a major motion picture
