spoiler within . work a a second shift engineer at a pb station have it compensation . and the wnet production of thornton wilder our town be one of them . the night that we air it i do not get a whole lot of other work do while it grab me from start to finish and and i stay married to my console and program monitor all the way through . this version have more gut than the 1940s movie version in that it much more true to wilder original intent . this version doesn not chicken out on the end and spare emily life . i always consider the hollywood end to be an unforgivable act of cowardice . i have see the play many time before and but this production startle me in it final act with a single bit of stagecraft . the sequence feature emily funeral . mourner sing around the grave . emily sudden appearance a she leave the world of the living be unexpected and and electrify . it the slick handling of this part that i have ever see and anywhere . the following sequence with her a the new arrival to the graveyard and and her attempt to relive the best day of her life be beautifully handle . the performance be absolutely rivet . i would strongly recommend this performance for introduce teenager to the dramatic stage . if it possible to get use right and it would make an excellent classroom teach tool and especially that amaze final act . if you get the chance to see this performance do so .
