Our Town is a play written by Thornton Wilder, first published in 1938. It tells the story of the small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, and the lives of its inhabitants over the course of several years. The play is divided into three acts, each representing a different time period in the town's history. The first act introduces the audience to the town and its residents, including the Gibbs and Webb families, who are the focus of the play. The second act takes place three years later and focuses on the relationship between George Gibbs and Emily Webb, who fall in love and get married. The third act takes place several years later and explores the theme of death and the afterlife. The play is known for its minimalist set design and use of a narrator, who provides commentary on the action. Our Town is a classic of American theater and has been performed countless times since its premiere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
