“Ah, Wilderness,” a delightful “comedy of recollection,” is true to the spirit of the American small town at the turn of the 20th century—full of the positive atmosphere, patriotic sentiment, and romantic mood of our ideal homeland. Eugene O’Neill, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature and four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, has captured this mood perfectly. This charming slice of life is guaranteed to leave the audience smiling.
