BWW Reviews: Antaeus Offers Sumptuous and Scintillating PICNIC
by Don Grigware
- Jun 28, 2015
William Inge's Pulitzer-Prize-winning Picnic depicting a small Kansas town in 1952, its strict code of morality and the inner longings of its people to break away, is perhaps his finest. Now in a stunning production at Antaeus directed ever so lovingly by Cameron Watson and boasting a superlative ensemble - actually three alternating casts: 'Deviled Eggs', 'Stuffed Peppers' and 'Pork Chops', Picnic still holds up some 60 years later, proving the omnipotence of human fragility. My visit was with the 'Deviled Eggs'cast.
The music, the clothes, the hairstyles, and the cars are distinctly 50s, but goals, motivations and emotions remain the same. For those unfamiliar with the play or the uber popular 1956 film Picnic starring William Holden and Kim Novak, let's recap the plot briefly.

Powerful, moving and ripe for revival, Inge's drama is not simply a breezy summer romance.

At once sensual, passionate and delightfully funny, Picnic probes the sometimes tenuous line between restraint and desire.
