Give 'em Hell, Harry!

See it if you love US Hist...and want to "meet" HST. Gr quotes/anecdotes fr a strong, fair man. But glosses over 2nd a-bomb, attack on Marg's critic.

Don't see it if you want a polished prodn. Byrnes has tics (sniffs often, repeatedly says "now, you know, well"). Play has clunky transitions. Still, moving

See it if you yearn to know more about Truman and the history around his presidency.

Don't see it if you don't care about a president who was probably dead by the time you were born, or if you're expecting something interesting.

Also Over ten men have held the office of President in my lifetime, and I would have regarded Truman as the most boring of all. This show proves me right. There was nothing really revelatory here, and Truman was not depicted as someone who could give anyone hell.

To be totally fair and transparent, the actor seemed to have a cold (at least I hope that was what all the sniffing was about) so perhaps was not up to snuff when we saw it.

The show was 90 minutes with one intermission, which I took as a sign to leave early, even though there was 30 minutes left.

Hope you all enjoy it more than I did!... Read more Read less

Also J. Dolan Byrnes is stellar as Harry S. Truman! And, the play is as relevant as ever right now before our midterm elections in November. There are lots and lots of great people living in this country and it is good to be reminded that Ben Franklin thought of the President as servant leader of the people and Harry Truman gave such a stellar example how to be such a president.... Read more Read less
