The Winnipesaukee Playhouse production of the Liz Duffy Adams 2009 play “Or,” which was performed al fresco in Meredith, New Hampshire, last year, was “reconstructed” to fit Portland Stage’s indoor stage. A performance from a brief in-person run of the play in Portland is available to stream online through the end of the month.
