The classic, Pulitzer Prize-winning drama by Thornton Wilder, Our Town examines life in the small New Hampshire town of Grovers Corners in the early years of the twentieth century. The main story, told through a series of scenes woven together by the narration of the Stage Manager, focuses on the courtship and marriage of Emily Webb and George Gibbs. Simple and easy-going in its presentation and detailed in its character development, Our Town paints an appealing and engrossing picture of small town life while reminding us that we need to live life to the fullest and appreciate its simple pleasures while we can. |
