"Even in an act entitled Daily Life, the playwright, Thornton Wilder, quietly batters us with the news that we are mortal... So if you think of the play as small, sweet or old-fashioned, and Grover's Corners as a twin town to Bedford Falls or Hooterville, I respectfully offer that you have the soul of a rock."
"In any good enough production, Our Town is titanic: beyond time and brutal. The revival... is more than good enough... in its beauty, yes, but more so in its refusal to offer beauty as a cure when it is only, at best, a comfort."
