As the play delves into its subject of life and death, the hearts of the audience are treated with tender and gentle grace. Watching and listening to it is like being inside a soap bubble that is blown into the air and gently caught as it descends in such a way to prevent its bursting. Our Town, now at the Shakespeare Theatre, feels and sounds like a poem.
“He wrote Jane a letter and on the envelope the address was like this: It said: Jane Crofut The Crofut Farm Grover’s Corners Sutton County New Hampshire United States of America… Continent of North America Western Hemisphere the Earth the Solar System the Universe the Mind of God - that’s what it said on the envelope… And the postman brought it just the same.” - Rebecca Gibbs, Our Town
