The Lonely Way [B+]

Good first act; even better second. Wonderful script/translation. The acting was good, but not great. The age of cast members (men) was not terribly convincing: the ages of the three men who were supposed to be boyhood friends seemed to differ considerably. But all these things are nits when viewed in light of the powerful effect of the whole show.

Historical Note: This Schindler play was headed for Broadway, but previewed around the East Coast in the 30's. The previes run was (shall we say) not a success, and the play never made it to Broadway. This current production is the only other time this play has been performed in America.
