Part of the Broadway Theater Archive Series this remarkable play, shown here in 1972, was written by Percy MacKaye (1875-1956.)
Other than being a powerful addition to the series the draw is of the variety of the actors; many of the actors are well known from the time. Others will want to go back and watch their previous works.
The story called "The Scarecrow" is only called "Scarecrow" on the production cover; This can be confusing when purchasing.
A nice commentary in great prose on the nature of man and revenge. A fund comic version of the time vs. Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."
We started in Massachusetts almost three hundred years ago. A well-designed stage. Rachel Merton (Blythe Danner) purchases a mirror of truth from Goody Rickby (Nina Foch). You will want to keep an eye on the mirror. Gene Wilder plays Lord Ravensbane; he could scare a crow.
As the crow flies so the wind blows.
Wed the girl and sting the justice.
Will things go as planned?
Again, keep your eye on the mirror.
