A beautiful new edition of Thornton Wilder's most renowned play, the Pulitzer Prize-winning American classic, Our Town.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning drama of life in the mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire—an allegorical representation of all life—has become an American classic. It is the simple story of a love affair that asks timeless questions about the meaning of love, life and death.

Our Town explores the relationship between two young Grover’s Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage. When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts—childhood, adulthood, and death—is fully realized.

Thornton Wilder's most renowned and most frequently performed play, Our Town, was first performed on Broadway in 1938 to wide acclaim and continues to appear on stages all around the world.
