From Intime to the Oscars

“A Century of Intime” (On the Campus, January issue) is an excellent story on the plucky Theatre Intime, featuring, among others, the stellar playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins ’06, whose work Gloria came as far west as San Francisco until it was shut down by the coronavirus in mid-run last season.

One regrettable omission in the Intime lineup was Robert “Bo” Goldman ’53, who surely deserves mention. I saw him back then in Giraudoux’s The Trojan War Will Not Take Place, doing a deft comedy role. He subsequently earned two screenwriting Oscars, most memorably for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
