'Thousand Pines' is about three families in the aftermath of a school shooting, trying to recover from the unthinkable. This all-too-timely story, directed by Austin Pendleton, is ultimately about grief, recovery, and healing.

Director Mark Lamos is to be congratulated on imbuing this show with new life and purpose in these trying times. The final moments of this 'Man of La Mancha' present a stark tableau of some of the challenges facing us, including the red-hooded specter of intolerance, images of the falsely imprisoned, and the continued abuse and subjugation of women.

The ups and downs of show business are on full display with Westport Country Playhouse's hit production.
