Described by Edward Albee as "the greatest American play ever written," Our Town follows 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. Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, Our Town depicts the small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, through three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage" and "Death and Eternity."
In the next step for a play that Wilder conceived from the beginning as a play about everywhere, Our Town is published here for the first time in three languages-English, Spanish and Creole. Infused with layers of culture and community, this new Acting Edition celebrates Grover's Corners as an international address.
