I performed this play in 1999 in high school for a competition. Unfortunately, so much of it had to be cut that the real sense of the play is lost. It's a reaccuring theme in movies and TV today. Boy lives in small town, grows up, comes back. He ends up being on TV once and the whole town thinks he's a big celebrity, when he's really not. Some tear-jerker scenes, but all-in-all, I'd rather watch cartoons for some stimulation.
