Our Town By: Thornton Wilder


A re-read of this, in conjunction with a The Skin of Our Teeth re-read. Wilder's ability to write this beautifully quiet and simple piece and also The Skin of Our Teeth is an outstanding achievement.  Both pieces are presentations of life; this one is deceptively simple in its presentation, and full of warmth, heart and real sense of community. The Skin of Our Teeth is the complete opposite. And yet both present life brilliantly.
