This is "Our Town" as Thornton Wilder wished it to be performed. Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written, ”Our Town" presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. Thornton Wilder's final word on how he wanted his play performed is an invaluable addition to the American stage and to the libraries of theatre lovers internationally. Winner of the 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 1989 Tony Award for Best Revival and the 1989 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival, OUR TOWN is surely a play not to be missed! Rated PG-13.
