Drama critic: There were many interesting plays written last year  Surely some will gain widespread popularity for at least a few years, and some will even receive high critical acclaim, but none will be popular several centuries from now
The only plays that continue to be performed regularly over many decades and centuries are those that skillfully explore human nature, and none of the plays written last year examine human nature in a particularly skillful way
Any play that skillfully examines human nature will be performed regularly over the centuries.
