…the play can still work.
Just 2 months ago the Quintessence Theatre in Philadelphia did a terrific filmed and streamed production, about which Terry Teachout in the Wall Street Journal (link below) said:
“ For all the high seriousness of its underlying themes, it’s funny, fanciful and, above all, optimistic, not quite what you’d expect of a wartime play whose protagonist, George Antrobus (Benim Foster), reminds us that ‘every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for.’ Powerful words for a grave hour: The play had its Broadway premiere 11 months after Pearl Harbor, and Wilder was right to say that it ‘comes alive under conditions of crisis.’ To watch it as America emerges nervously from the pandemic cannot be other than tonic, and this exceptionally fine production is the right show for the right moment.” |
