More Quotes from Dan Wackerman:
Simon is really his savior, but he put himself at risk. He did something unethical for moral reasons. It's hard to imagine him doing that now. He's become a hollow man. He's a very compromised man and that's what makes him such a wonderful American character. Audiences respond strongly, especially the attorneys.Dan Wackerman
The establishment, in the person of Baird, resents Simon's success. He's been able to crash the gate, as it were. Jews were finally starting to achieve some degree of success and were breaking through the institutions with great resistance. That's why you couldn't and shouldn't update this play. It's very particular.
Dan Wackerman
He's not aware of the extent to which he's drifted away from the old neighborhood. He's been assimilated into the world of his wife, and he's lost his identity, and his soul goes with it.
