Description
In bracingly plainspoken terms, Irwin Shaw's 1936 antiwar drama presents an iconic conceit—six dead American GIs stand up in protest and refuse to be buried—and mines it more for human drama than political significance. Transport Group’s valiant new revival frames the piece within a town hall meeting led by a cheery middle-American music teacher (Donna Lynne Champlin). Joe Calarco’s excellent ensemble and designers masterfully blur and scramble the material; imagine the stark-staring WWI doughboys from the curtain call of Journey’s End wandering through Our Town.—RWK
