Adventure as a Cure for Ailing Love Lives

"It may take a little while for audiences to stop waiting for the band to strike up during “The Matchmaker,” the 1954 farce by Thornton Wilder that has been given a rare and loving revival at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Wilder’s confectionary comedy was the most popular of his plays on Broadway, where the original production ran for more than a year. But the fame of “The Matchmaker” has since been eclipsed both by the enduring greatness of Wilder’s two masterworks, “Our Town” and “The Skin of Our Teeth” — each a Pulitzer Prize winner — and by the huge commercial success and undeniable charm of the musical version of the play, “Hello, Dolly!”"
