"Custer" Play in Akron Through March 31

[Diane Merkel]

If you happen to be in the Akron area, this sounds like a good one!

No one knows for sure what happened at Custer's Last Stand. The truth is forever lost in the Montana dust near the Little Bighorn River, but in Custer, playwright Robert Ingham sifts through the possibilities.

A production at Coach House, running through March 31, takes a pretty good crack at this absorbing drama, which the American Theatre Critics Association named the best play produced outside New York in the 1979-80 season.

Sounds great! Wonder if they could be persuaded to record it -- if only for the likes of us?

Does anyone know if this is the same play that was produced in Seattle several years ago?

No one will ever know, right? I assume it's the kind of conclusion Americans love when the inquiry seems to indicate an awful story...
