![]() ![]() In Act II, Wilder explores “Love and Marriage.” Once more, the audience is transported back to events in George and Emily’s life this time their wedding day. Wilder expertly blends comic vignettes that artfully show us the love, compassion and understanding that these characters are built upon. The first act unfolds, depicting 24 hours in the life of this average American town as we slowly see the characters reveal their souls to us. Wilder blends meditations on the ever evolving course of human existence with a heartfelt picture of life in small-town America. In OUR TOWN, Wilder expertly explores the beauty and sorrow of human life. 81 years later this powerful piece of theatre has lost none of it's charm. Our Town has been called " Wilder's hymn to ordinary lives," and so it is. It is easy to see why this is one of the heavy hitters of the American Theatre. It's been years perhaps a decade or more since I last read OUR TOWN. ![]() “Does anybody realize what life is while they're living it - every, every minute?” ![]()
