37. "Journey's End" by R. C. Sherriff


While it doesn't hit all the marks that the Shaw Festival production did in 2005, this is still an excellent revival of Sherriff's World War I drama that first premiered in 1928. Director David Grindley manages to convey an intimacy that I was doubtful could exist in the cavernous Belasco, mostly by extracting great performances from Jefferson Mays, Boyd Gaines, and Hugh Dancy.
