‘Two Trains’ Starts Running: August Wilson’s play “Two Trains Running” opened Monday night at the Walter Kerr Theater on Broadway. Here are some of the reviews that came in: In the New York Times, Frank Rich said the play is “easily Mr. Wilson’s most adventurous and honest attempt to reveal the intimate heart of history.” Howard Kissel in New York’s Daily News said: “At times, the exchanges between the characters verge on shtick, but always what keeps the play interesting is Wilson’s gift for capturing the rhythms and charm of black speech.”
