roadway in the 1950s was extraordinarily good to William Inge until it wasn’t. Then it turned merciless. After the remarkable successe “The Dark at the Top of the Stairs” (1957) came the play that broke the streak: “A Loss of Roses,” which shuttered aft three weeks in 1959, even with the beautiful, 22-year-old Warren Beatty in a central role. Inge blamed the failure on changes he made under pressure during production.revised the script for publication in 1960. “This play is not the play that was produced,” he wrote in the foreword, and until the end of his life, he was convinced of the piece’s excellence.At the Theater at St. Clement’s, the Peccadillo Theater Company, in association.

But that’s not the effect of the play, which lacks cohesion, or of Dan Wackerman’s sepia-tone production, which lacks emotional intensity. “A Loss of Roses” is a curio, but one that’s obscure for good reason. After the remarkable successes “Come Back, Little Sheba” (1950), “Picnic” (1953), “Bus Stop” (1955), “The Dark at the Top of the Stairs” (1957) came the play that broke the streak: “A Loss of Roses,” which shuttered after three weeks in 1959, even with the 6 eclectic | 2014 MAY
