Come As You Are - 1955 - New York Articles Page 13

Ocean State Theatre Company Artistic Director Amiee Turner introduced Friday night's production of INHERIT THE WIND by saying that she was somewhat surprised and saddened that a play about what's appropriate to teach in public schools, written in 1955 but based on events of the 1920's, is still so timely today.  Indeed, this script may be a Baby Boomer, but this production isn't showing its age at all, and is scarily relevant.  One of the biggest tells of an older play is often the length, and this script may have been edited down a bit, but the pacing is absolutely perfect.  Director Fred Sullivan Jr. fills the moments of brief set changes with appropriate moments of song, which may seem like an odd choice for a play of this nature, but it works perfectly.  Some of the songs are in the original script, but a few seem to have been added for this show. The songs also give the actors a chance to trot out their vocal chops including men singing in four part harmony, and violin and ukulele performances.

"There is nothing more exciting or nerve-wracking then placing a new play in the hands of directors and actors. It's exciting to see the play come alive. It's nerve-wracking because you so hope it will sound like what you long imagined it could be. I know, however, that the play will be a better play because of this wonderful experience!" - Daniel A. Kelin II

There are very few characters on television as terrifying as SCANDAL's Eli Pope.
