another Under Milkwood note:

Faldage, it is usually produced with a minimalist set, as per the author's directions, in much the same manner as Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology, or Thornton Wilder's Our Town. And like those other productions, when done well, you come away with a heightened consiousness for the beauty and appreciation of life, our everyday life...it elevates simplicity to a transcendence we tend to overlook while immersed in the busy-ness of daily living.
