Bus Stop by William Inge at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
If you’ve only seen the movie version of “Bus Stop” starring Marilyn Monroe, you really haven’t seen “Bus Stop.” The play is intense and engrossing. The movie version spends about two thirds of the movie giving background information. It is lonely the last forty-five minutes or so that is …
MJR Chesterfield Crossing Theater
