By Jonathan Mandell. More than a decade ago, A.R. Gurney, who had written some forty plays over forty years, wondered whether he would be forced to retire. Now, at age eighty-three, Gurney has shows in both the new Broadway season, and the new Off-Broadway season. Ask Gurney what happened to change things around, and his answer is succinct: Off-Off Broadway saved him.
