OUR TOWN by THORNTON WILDER |
Our Town is an exploration of the fictional town Grover's Corners, following different events and moments in the lives of the people who live there. It begins by looking at childhood and adolescence, then marriage into death. Throughout, these events are narrated by the Stage Manager, who frequently speaks directly to us in the audience.
