Wilsons were lucky for the Cino. DORIC WILSON’s four one-acts in 1961 cemented its image as a venue for new plays, and all but created the concept of Off-Off Broadway. LANFORD WILSON’s ten Cino plays, with frequent revivals, made him a superstar, and “What’s playing at the Cino?” a Village byword. Lance’s work raised the bar again and again, and helped to inspire unprecedented variety and fructfulness in Off-Off playwrights.
