Show: Atlanta Burning Sherman's Shadows
Venue: Theatre in the Round
Informing and Entertaining
Atlanta Burning is well written and well acted. Jay Nickerson does a great job as General Sherman. This is "living history" at its best. Unlike most other Union Generals, Sherman understood what it was going to take to win and end the America Civil War, however he struggled with the strategy and tactics that this undertaking would require. Atlanta Burning does a very good job of presenting this conundrum with the dialogue between Sherman and his staff officers (which includes you as a audience member). The dialogue becomes a bit confusing at times, while trying to compress events taking place over a period of a few months, into just one meeting of Sherman and his aides. The final scene is very dramatic and moving, and brings home the cruelties of war, but is unture to history, since Major Henry Hitchcock did survive the war. Overall, Atlanta Burning is very informing and entertaining. I will see it again.
