In his younger days, playwright Jon Robin Baitz was known for his angry young characters, usually in conflict with stubborn members of the older generation. Those bristling, indignant, furious youth fill such plays as "A Fair Country" (produced in Chicago by Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1997) and "The Substance of Fire" (produced by the old Organic Theatre in 2002).
