I make it no secret that this is one of my favorite plays of all time. It is simple, yet has more to say than most. It addresses the things that are really important in life. The fact that the time setting of the play is one hundred years ago is irrelevant. People don't really change. The environment changes. We have changed the environment we live in with the technology of the last century, but I find that we have changed little. We are able to clearly recognize ourselves in these characters. I think this is one of the most beautiful plays of the American Theatre. It was written to be performed without scenery or props, placing the emphasis on the performance of the author's words. What better choice for a venue like the Black Box?
