A Word.

Some of the best plays I ever seen were plays that I didn’t know what to make of them when they ended. Our Town was one of those plays, now I should say- my exposure to Our Town came courtesy of Netflix. Unlike many of you who may have seen a production of this play done at a High School or College- I saw this play sitting at home on the best seat in the house with Paul Newman and Jayne Atkinson leading the cast. I tell you this because Our Town is not an easy play to swallow even when it’s done professionally.
