David Cromer’s production of this play included the smell of frying bacon in the hyperrealistic last act to contrast with his bare staging of the earlier acts. The first stage directions in this play are, “No curtain. No scenery,” and the sound of a rooster’s crow. A girl in this play laments, “Oh, earth, you’re too wonderful for anybody to realize you” after she bids “good-by” to “clocks ticking...and (15[1])Mama’s sunflowers.” This play’s last act begins with the narrator setting up (*) three rows of chairs (10[1])that represent graves, after which (10[1])their inhabitants sing “Blessed Be the Tie That Binds.” (10[2])A woman in this play asks if any people “ever realize life while they live it?” after she relives her 12th birthday. For 10 points, name this play narrated by the Stage Manager and set in Grover’s Corners, by Thornton Wilder. ■END■
