Just reread, holds up better than ever, Wilder's ambitious masterpiece. All history happens at once here, focusing on a single family during the Ice Age (Act I), the Biblical Flood (Act II), the aftermath of a Great War (Act III), the human family surviving it all.
Outrageously theatrical, funny, witty, profound, optimistic against all odds, a great American classic of the theater.
San Diego's Globe did a fine performance in the 1980s, later on PBS, in which Portland actress/director Diana Bellamy had a small role. Like most classics, it's not done often enough.
