“A Great Wilderness” is a thought-provoking script that gets an
excellent production. Don’t be surprised
if you find yourself involved in a lengthy discussion regarding the meaning of
the play’s conclusion and have lots of self-thoughts about the play and its
implications.

No matter what your views concerning the subject
matter, this is a thinking person’s play that will open up dialogue for the
trip home and for days after. It is a controversial subject with religious
overtones that brings a lot of emotion to the surface. Share it with someone
you trust and be prepared to discuss the work (especially the ending) at
length.

an opponent. They all essentially agree with each other regarding the benefits
of curing gay men and, as they keep lobbing or slamming their arguments over
the net, there is no one on the other side to return serve.

Can two weeks at a mountain cabin and an understanding adult “turn” a gay teen straight? That’s not the only question the ambitious A Great Wilderness poses at this latest Beck Center’s production. Author Samuel D. Hunter has provided director Scott Spence and the six-member cast a play that toys with the “what ifs” of life, but provides no pat answers.
