Book Reviews of Almost, Maine - Acting Edition
Book Review: A True Romantic
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I should say that I spent two summer with John Cariani doing summer stock at Summer Theatre at Mount Holyoke. And he is one of the funniest, entertaining and endearing humans on the planet. Secondly, every word, every absurd twist of this comedy is so purely his heart that reading it was like reconnecting with an old friend. It is beautifully written. So sweet and romantic, it is guaranteed to melt even the iciest of hearts. The closest thing I can compare it with is "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It has all of the magic and fantasy of Shakespeare's romp, but it's Great Northern setting makes it delightful and the very simple and effective dialogue makes it so completely modern, without placing it in any one time period. In five or ten years, the messages and humor will still play to audiences without seeming dated, jaded or political. Kudos, John!
