Our Town Reviews

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...Thorton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer Prize winning play Our Town is a masterpiece, drawing on inspiration from the likes of Bertholt Brecht and traditional Chinese theatre. With touches of feminism ahead of his time, and a celebration of the connections between the everyday and the cosmic dimensions of human experience, Wilder constructed a masterpiece that changed and furthered the landscape of American theatre (and theatre in general) forever. Happily, the Lyric Stage Company of Boston’s excellent production honors that brilliance and more."
