To the Editor:Re “Christopher Durang, 75, Master Playwright With Impish Wit, Dies” (obituary, April 4):I was so saddened to hear of Chris Durang’s passing. Chris was a wonderful, kind, hilarious man. In college I was in a musical he wrote about the life of Jesus. But mostly, Chris was a delightful man with a big heart and brilliant wit.
