Greendale Hits The Stage

When Neil Young sang into a megaphone "There's corruption on the highest floor!" back in 2003, we knew that something profound was going down. And it took a little while for the full impact of Greendale to be felt and comprehended. For regular readers of Thrasher's Wheat, you know that we have a deep fondness for the misunderstood and reviled Greendale.

So it comes with great interest news that Greendale will be a theatrical play this spring. Greendale has been compared to Thornton Wilder’s Our Town and Sherwood Anderson’s Winesberg Ohio as a portrait of the changing face of small town America.

The Undermain Theatre, Dallas, Texas will have the theatrical premiere of Neil Young’s Greendale on March 29-May 3, 2008.
