Theater: Catharsis and crusade
...That's a fair description of Charles Mee, prolific polymath of cutting-edge American theater. "I think I have 31 or 32 plays on my Web site, and none of them is about disability," said Mee, who contracted polio in his teens.
The Brooklyn playwright has written about living with a disability in his memoir, "A Nearly Normal Life" But his plays are more apt to deal with themes from Greek mythology--he's a distinguished classical scholar--or American politics.
