until i saw this version of our town i do not really understand the power of thorton wilder play . this version contain real people and not character lift from cloy greet card . the cast be excellent . when dr. gibbs dress down his son for ignore the chore and we understand why george cry . we see unstated confusion and conflict between the doctor and his son regard his mother and then marital tension and love tension and between the gibbs when the mother come home . penelope ann miller elicit the pathos of see the one she love who do not understand what she now understand about life . spaulding gray be quirky and purposefully detach from the character of the play he be supervise . he be at his best when he lay out the town in the first act description . his use of his hand be excellent .
