Thornton Wilder’s hauntingly beautiful Our Town was described by playwright Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written.” Through Wilder’s artfully simple prose, we are transported through a timeless, quintessentially American experience, as young George and Emily meet, fall in love and marry. While we share in their journey, we find ourselves witnessing a full life cycle — from childhood to adulthood, and, ultimately, the grave. Wilder’s beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama opens our eyes to all we take for granted — the beautiful small details of everyday existence in a world “too wonderful for anybody to realize.”
“As the playwright positions the town of Grover’s Corners and its mundane individuals against the vast context of endless time and a boundless universe, his drama celebrates both the marvel of everyday existence and the ‘something way down deep that’s eternal about every human being.’” – The New York Times
