Our Town, Multilingual - Paperback

by Thornton Wilder (Author)

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.
