James Wilson takes a look at Walden at Second Stage Theater:
Depending on your post-election mood, a cautionary and dystopian play may not be the best choice. If, however, you haven't yet spiraled into a full-blown existential crisis, you might head to Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theater, where Amy Berryman's Walden is currently running. The play is set in the American wilderness in the "Not-So-Distant Future," and the earth is on the brink of being completely uninhabitable. In comparison, the present political and ecological landscape doesn't look so bad. |
