NEW YORK—Transport Group Theatre Company is presenting an extraordinary duo of William Inge’s “Picnic” and “Come Back, Little Sheba” in rotating repertory under the direction of Jack Cummings III, downtown at The Gym at Judson.
Both plays harken back to the early 1950s (“Picnic,” from 1953, won the Pulitzer Prize) and are permeated with a yearning for something else and something better.
One gets a sense of the characters straining at an invisible leash.
