| For me it's going to be difficult to top the David Cromer production downtown. | |

| I loved the Cromer, and saw it quite late with Michael Shannon, a performance devoid of sentimentality, even a bit menacing. But I can't say that I've ever seen a production that didn't work. Even in a middle school, the stage manager role divided among seven girls who played it as a small town knitting circle, telling the story (not approved by the estate, but damned if it didn't work beautifully). | |

| The Cromer Our Town was a highlight of my long theater going life. Of the many productions I had seen through the years this was the one where I got it. | |

| Agreed. A highlight of more than 30 years of avid theater going. | |

| I agree with your assertions about the Cromer production. It was a revelation about a play I had known and loved and THOUGHT I knew. It was one of the highlights of my theater-going life, and as much as I admire Sher's work (South Pacific especially), I can't imagine how that experience could be topped. | |

| So no one should ever revive ‘Our Town’ again? | |
