Book Reviews of Our Town: A Play in Three Acts
Book Review: Our Town
Summary: 5 Stars
I've enjoyed reading this version of Thornton Wilder's, "Our Town". It's a short, 3 act play but nevertheless is huge in its message. The introduction in this version is helpful and clues the reader to appreciate and look for the deep message of the play. It was through the study of this publication I felt renewed in my love for life! A quick read and well worth the time.
Summary of Our Town: A Play in Three Acts
Our Town was first produced and published in 1938 to wide acclaim. This Pulitzer Prize?winning drama of life in the town of Grover's Corners, an allegorical representation of all life, has become a classic. It is Thornton Wilder's most renowned and most frequently performed play.
It is now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition, featuring a new Foreword by Donald Margulies, who writes, "You are holding in your hands a great American play. Possibly the great American play." In addition, Tappan Wilder has written an eye-opening new Afterword, which includes Thornton Wilder's unpublished notes and other illuminating photographs and documentary material.
