'Wild Mountain Thyme' Is John Patrick Shanley's Valentine to Ireland On 12/11/20 at 12:01 AM EST Wild Mountain Thyme, which is adapted from Shanley's Broadway play, Outside Mullingar. Wild Mountain Thyme is a fairy tale. No doubt about it. From the open line—"Once upon a time"—you know you are safe and in good hands, the hands of director and screenwriter Shanley.

As a result, we often remain on the outside looking in on the lead characters’ blarney-inf...

In Theaters and Streaming on Video Demand” 12.11 It’s hard for me to write about anything made by John Patrick Shanley, the man who wrote Doubt, without reflecting upon his eclectic career. And by that I mean: What the hell was up with Congo? I’m aware that it’s been 30 years, but I have not yet even begun to heal from that experience, or to comprehend what happened, other than to postulate the theory that Shanley wrote a deliberately and dumbfoundingly awful draft of the script and presented it to  director Frank Marshall as a joke, and Marshall was too nice and too grateful to h...
