Howard Gollop


Under the subtle inventiveness of acclaimed Tony- and Obie award-winning director Mary Zimmerman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play takes on a new glow of freshness and power, only occasionally overly self-reverential (as other productions of it tend to be). The main visual conceit for the Play House production, with scenic designer Daniel Ostling, is a ceiling of light banks that lower successively at each of the three acts. The meaning of this is not quite clear, but the effect is one of focus and interest.

Once described as “the greatest American play ever written” this production lives up to the promise. While touching on the subjects of life, death and the beyond it encourages us to wake up now to seize the day by not letting a single scrap of time pass without noting something wonderful has happened. Carpe Diem and see this play.

CPH’s “Our Town” uses a precise, firm hand to deliver the life lessons of Thornton Wilder’s great American play in a rendition that demands audiences confront the preciousness of life.
