New Old Theater celebrates the 157th anniversary of Tom Taylor's comedy...without the interruptions of 150 years ago. This courtyard production by candle footlights is fun time travel for all ages. Will the "American Savage" from Vermont get his comeuppance among his British cousins? OUR AMERICAN COUSIN played 140 nights in New York, 400 nights in London, became for decades the most popular comedy in North America, and kept reappearing in new versions. Just like Star Trek.
