Tom Stoppard (“Shakespeare in Love” and “Coast of Utopia”)

I have been impressed by Randy Gener’s professionalism as a journalist, and I am happy to endorse him for the Ten Outstanding New Yorkers Award at Carnegie Hall.  

His essay — “Fomenting a Denim Revolution,” about the Belarus Free Theatre — is a superb piece.  It is the best and fullest account of the situation I have read.  Everyone who cares about freedom in Belarus, and about the Free Theatre in particular, has reason to thank him.
