Our Town (A play by Thornton Wilder)

I saw "Our Town" at The Huntington Theatre Company tonight.

It was really good. I don't like plays, and I still think that. It was $60/seat, I'm a cheapskate, and I still think it was totally worth it. I hate facebook, but it was worth posting about it there, too.

This particular presentation (arrangement?) was part of what made it so good. The first two acts were exceptionally minimalist, almost no props, modern costume, flat lighting, classic black box. But half way through act three, that all changes, shockingly, dramatically.

Wow...
