Botticelli (play)
''Botticelli'' is a one-act play written in 1968 by Terrence McNally. It was first produced by Channel Thirteen in New York City on March 14 and 15, 1968, on the television show ''New York Television Theatre''. ''Botticelli'' was one of three one-act plays, under the overall title of ''Apple Pie'' (the other two were ''Tour'' and ''Next''), which focused on the Vietnam War. It was directed by Glenn Jordan and starred Kevin O'Connor and Roy London.〔Roberts, Jerry. ("Terrence McNally" ) ''Great American Playwrights on the Screen, A Critical Guide to Film, TV, VIdeo, and DVD'', 2003, Hal Leonard Corporation, ISBN 1557835128, p. 372〕
The play is about two soldiers who wait in the jungle to kill an enemy fighter. While they wait they play the game of Botticelli. The civilized and cultured nature of the game contrasts ironically with the brutal indifference of war.〔Caron, Erin Toth.

George Gent, in his review for ''The New York Times'' wrote that ''Botticelli'' was the "most successful in purely dramatic terms" of the three plays. He further commented that the play shows a "chilling comment on the inhumanity of war."〔Gent, George. "TV: Chilling View of War: Terrence McNally's 'Apple Pie' Offers Three Original Dramatic Vignettes", ''The New York Times'', March 15, 1968, p. 79〕 Toby Silverman Zinman in her book ''McNally: A Casebook'' wrote that ''Botticelli'' shows McNally's "virtuosity as a playwright", but that "the target is again neither sufficiently sharp nor compelling."〔Zinman, Toby Silverman.
