Rated:Â PG
Our Town was described by the playwright, Edward Albee as “…the greatest American play ever written.” The story follows the small town of Grover’s Corners through three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage,” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a Stage Manager and performed with minimal props and sets, audiences follow 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. This edition of the play differs only slightly from previous Acting Editions, yet it presents Our Town as Thornton Wilder wished it to be performed.
“Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece… An immortal tale of small town morality…a classic of soft spoken theatre.” — The New York Times
“No American play describes more powerfully how we imagine ourselves.” — New York Daily News
