Our Town

Barrow Street Theatre
27 Barrow Street, New York, NY.

Small intimate theatre which made the experience complete.

Great production directed by David Cromer....(from Chicago!!!!!!)

Watch your toes at the wonderfully intimate production of “Our Town” that opened at the Barrow Street Theater. Here come Howie Newsome and his horse, Bessie, delivering the morning milk, and you may be sitting right in the middle of Main Street. Most regular theatergoers have probably paid at least one visit to Grover’s Corners, the fictional village in New Hampshire where Thornton Wilder’s classic play takes place. But you’ve probably never been as friendly with its citizens as you are likely to become at this modest but highly rewarding production, directed by David Cromer. The production keeps us continually in the present moment, not obscured by the dark anonymity of spectatorship but visible to one another and to the actors. It expresses with a fine clarity the idea that theater is not, ideally, an escape from life but a means of entering into it more fully.
