Skin of Our Teeth, The

Thornton Wilder?s Pulitzer Prize-winning play brings to life the fate and foibles of the celebrated Antrobus family - a bold and brassy embodiment of Wilder's vision of the American people. This eloquent comedy serves up an allegorical tale of one American family whose members must come to grips with their destinies. Having survived fire, flood, pestilence, seven-year locusts, the Ice Age and a dozen wars, the Antrobuses are as durable as radiators, and remain as optimistic as a spring day. A genuine modern classic.
