Ah, Wilderness!
October 28, 2018 at 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Free – $8
Ah, Wilderness!, A comedy of Recollection in Three Acts, creates a picture of our country set in 1906 in which the lives of the characters and the aura of their town is filtered through sunlight. The comedy portrays an age of innocence and charm. Set on the Fourth of July, it celebrates an America as yet untouched by world war, widespread poverty, divorce, and other social ills that now form a part of our memory of the twentieth century. O’Neill said he had presented the “real America.” The play is often described as a “dream play” and, in fact, is both literally and figuratively that. O’Neill woke one morning to find that he had literally dreamed the entire play, complete with title and made a complete outline for it that day. Figuratively, the play is a dream of what American life in a small town was in 1906. As such, it has been perceived as a play of almost total innocence and naiveté, a world filtered, as it were, through sunlight. It is also generally described and remembered as a charming picture of the innocence of youth and young love. Known as America’s greatest tragic playwright, Eugene O’Neill’s only comedy is Ah, Wilderness!
