Back in December, I posted an item on behalf of Ken Jost in which he reported that a play based on Andre Gide's The Immoralist ran on Broadway in 1954.
Guess what? The couple responsible for that adaptation, Ruth Goetz and Augustus Goetz, had rendered a similar service to Henry James several years earlier by adapting his 1880 novel, Washington Square, into "The Heiress." I saw that play at Arena Stage last month and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I wish I had posted this notice before it closed last week. Mea culpa!
