Book descriptionI decided to read this play over the summer and it wasn’t until I finished the play that I realized there were two versions (1960 and 1976), and I had read the 1976 edition. I decided I wanted to read the 1960 edition to compare (since it seems like most of the revivals use the 1960 edition), and it took me several weeks to procure a copy of the 1960 play. After reading both, I decided to keep my first review (of the 1976 edition) and then add some additional thoughts after reading the 1960 edition.My review after reading the 1976 version: It took me a while to warm up to this story of two candidates vying for their party’s presidential nomination. The opening scenes didn’t grab me or stand out in a meaningful way – I was surprised this was the same play that was generating such fawning reviews regarding its 2012 revival. I was ready to write it off as was one of those plays that benefits from a central subject (presidential elections) that repeats itself every few years, much as Christmas movies (sometimes regardless of quality) enjoy an annual revival. But I am thrilled to admit I judged too soon. The play picks up speed, the meaning of the title becomes clear, and the purpose of all of that earlier set up makes sense, and wow. It’s a damning, brilliant commentary on politicians and the price of power. I finished with a much better appreciation for what America lost with Mr. Vidal’s passing earlier this year. Recommended.Review after reading the 1960 edition: I don’t know if it’s because I had already read the play in its entirety and enjoyed it, but I think I prefer the 1960 edition. The beginning didn’t seem as slow, and a lot of the interactions and comments worked better in the original version. I honestly can’t say if it is the best one (pun intended), or if I simply enjoyed the story more the second time through, but what I can say is rereading the play only made me appreciate it more. The story itself is unchanged between the two editions – the latter edition was simply updated to reference events that would make the play modern to audiences in 1976. Regardless of edition, The Best Man is a great play that, even fifty years after its original premiere, resonates with its biting and astute commentary on American politics.A considerable downside is that The Best Man gave me a reason to look forward to 2016 and a potential revival, and I don’t like that 2016 now has something I want, because I am so very sick of American elections and would, frankly, like a decade-long moratorium on them (ignoring the practical problems with such a wish). But I do think that’s the highest praise I could give a political work of fiction: it makes me, in a tiny way, look forward to another presidential election year. Highly recommended.
