Details

A beloved American classic for nearly nine decades, Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Our Town is an allegorical representation of life. Set in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, it considers timeless questions about the meaning of love, existence, and death. Neighbors George Gibbs and Emily Webb share a childhood friendship that has blossomed into romance and culminates in marriage. When Emily dies in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts—childhood, adulthood, and death—is fully realized. This beautiful deluxe edition also includes three of Wilder’s acclaimed one-act plays: The Long Christmas Dinner, The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden,” and Pullman Car Hiawatha. The Long Christmas Dinner spans nine decades and showcases the lives of several generations of the Bayard family, observed through years of Christmas dinners. Wilder breaks the boundaries of measured time, inviting us to partake in “one long, happy Christmas
