Bentley, born in England on September 14, 1916 was 103 when he died this August 5, at home in Manhattan. Always a bit at odds with American theater, he was not fond of its most cherished institution, Broadway, preferring European theater and, in particular, plays by Bertolt Brecht.
Like Brecht and his first hero, Shaw, Bentley was left wing in his politics. He wrote plays about those who were persecuted by the establishment, including artists harrassed by McCarthyism, as well as Galileo and Oscar Wilde.
