Finding the theatre of the 1920s lacking in bite and conviction, Thornton Wilder set out to bring back realism and to celebrate the innocent, simple and religious. Yet he also tried to endow individual experience with cosmic significance and Our Town is both an affectionate portrait of American life and 'an attempt to find a value above all price for the smallest events in our daily life'. The Skin of our Teeth deals with human survival in a 'comic strip' way, and The Matchmaker is a hilarious farce which urges rebellion against all the constraints that deny a rich, full life.

A CLASSIC - TIMELESS
This edition was great. Not only the beautiful Pulitzer Prioze winning play but tons of history, information about the development of the play and candid comments from Thornton Wilder. Also some rare pictures of performances and production personnel. A gem.

The most important life lesson - A must read
Thornton Wilder is the diametric opposite of Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa is depressing beyond belief finding no joy whatsoever or purpose in life. Thornton, in this incredible play, shows us how important it is to savour every wonderful magical moment of life. It will be staged at the end of 2024 in New York with Jim Parsons and Katie Holmes among other great actors. Thornton was one of the greatest minds and playwrights of our time.
