A nice story on the Wilder masterpiece on Sunday Morning today. It's the most produced play in America, 4000 productions in last decade. I'd like to see it again ... been about 15 years. What is fascinating is that Wilder's dramatic style influenced European theater much more than at home, where the naturalistic style prevailed and still does. Durrenmatt, my favorite playwright, comes straight out of Wilder.
Yes, I definitely hope someone around here does Our Town soon -- or the Skin of Our Teeth, which is not done often at all.
