Sherman points to the play’s capacity to transcend the parochial and embrace universal human experience. Like Jesus’ parabolic mustard bush, Our Town affords many sheltering branches to an impressive diversity of audiences. It was performed in Japanese internment camps during World War II and was the first American play produced in Berlin after the war. In 1968, a Los Angeles production populated Grover’s Corners with cast members who were African American, Apache, Russian, Mexican, and Chinese.
This trend continues into the 21st century. After three short chapters on the origins and early reception of
Our Town, Sherman’s book consists of a series of oral histories based on interviews with more than a dozen casts of recent revivals of the play.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlingsâ tender, beautiful coming-of-age story
The Yearling was brought to gloriously Techicolored life by Clarence Brown in his 1946 MGM feature, as moving and as engrossing a family saga as has ever been committed to film. With Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman scoring career highs as the parents and Claude Jarman, Jr. an unforgettable Jody,
The Yearling is everything one could wish from a screen adaptation of a prize-winning book.
In the hardscrabble marshlands of 1878 Florida, Penny Baxter (Gregory Peck) ekes out a poor living raising corn, beans, and potatoes with his hardened wife Orry (Jane Wyman) and his eleven-year old son Jody (Claude Jarman, Jr.), the only one of their four children to survive the brutal life of the era. The family must contend with natural disasters like hurricanes and wild animals who invade the farm at the worst possible moments, but they manage to make do with help from feisty neighbors the Forresters.

Harrow Civic Centre (Photo: Newsquest) Harrow Council’s opposition Conservative group have criticised reshuffles of some of the authority’s key decision-making committees. They suggested decisions taken by council leader Cllr Graham Henson (Lab, Roxbourne) had left certain panels lacking “experience”. Cllr Paul Osborn, leader of Harrow Conservatives, explained nobody questioned the ability of the newly chosen councillors but he felt there were some instances where the changes were not a good fit. He particularly took issue with the decision to appoint Cllr Pamela Fitzpatrick (Lab, Headstone South) as chairman of the planning committee. “I’d like to emphasise we’re not doing this because of the person involved but, while Cllr Fitzpatrick is an experienced and able councillor, she has not sat on the planning committee at all and has only attended one meeting in the last seven years,” he told a full council meeting yesterday (Wednesday, May 5).
The cost to remove cycle lanes will be half the amount paid to put them in (Photo: Pexels/Newsquest) Contentious road closures and pop-up cycle lanes in Harrow have moved a step closer to being removed. But it has emerged that it will cost Harrow Council half as much to take out cycle lanes created as part of Covid measures as it was given by the Government to put them in. The council’s traffic and road safety advisory panel (TARSAP) yesterday (April 22) recommended cycle lanes in Honeypot Lane, Uxbridge Road, and Sheepcote be taken out, alongside planters blocking roads in three ‘low-traffic neighbourhoods’.
