Book Reviews of Luther (Drama, Plume)
Book Review: Flavorless
Summary: 3 Stars
I was excited to learn that a play existed about the life Of Martin Luther. When I look at this book in the literary sense, it is actually pretty bad. The long diatribes in an actual performance must be tedious and downright painful to the audience. These sermons take the place of any real story about the life of Luther. When I look at the play in a historical sense, the work is important in that it gives readers a very concise look at Luther's work and the significance of him standing up to the Catholic Church hierarchy. The facts that are mentioned about Luther's life are very sparse.
John Osborne had a good idea in trying to write the play. Unfortunately, there realy is no story. There is no action. Some lines go on for an entire page. As an actor, this certainly is not easy to perform with zest. The basic idea behind Luther's work is told. Beyond that, I can gage little more about the man. Although Osborne would have us believe that Luther had some serious issues with his bowel movements.
