REVIEW: Our Town, Almeida Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭

Our Town with David Walmsley at the Almeida Theatre

This is a phenomenally effective and ambitious revival of a masterpiece. It restores one’s faith in the power and magic of theatre and shows, in a very clear way, how casting actors who can act is the key to successful theatre. It makes your heart and spirit soar, although you may shed some tears along the way. Powerful. Engrossing. Unforgettable. An Our Town for our time.
