An absolute timeless piece... Thornton Wilder wrote an absolute masterpiece

This play is timeless, it will be as relevant in 500 years as it was when written.

Played George my Senior Year of High School. The show is always a reminder to try to be like the saints and poets and try to experience every moment of life

"There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being."

I watched the 1940 film just yesterday. Even on repeated viewings its freshness never dims. I've seen this, too, very evocation itself.

There can be no greater expression of love than that you EXIST!

There is always more to say about 'Our Town'. It is the greatest play ever written in any language because it is the only play which can apply to every last person anywhere anytime. You must NOT have any sets. You must NOT have any props. You must only respect that the women are women and the men are men. Beyond that, there is no limit to how you cast this play. It could be in Jo'berg or Osaka as well as Grover's Corners because GC stands for every town anywhere anywhen. I think we all want to live there, really. I think we all should live there.

Mrs. Gibbs: "only it seems to me, that once in your life, before you die, you ought to see a country where they don't talk in English ... and don't even want to."

Doc Gibbs admonishing George for leaving his mother to do his chore of chopping wood: "And you eat her meals, and put on the clothes she keeps nice for you, and you run off and play baseball like she's some hired girl we keep around the house ... but that we don't like very much."

with every human being you have layers and layers of nonsence until you get at the core.

[DominicProMax]

no way is this the real Thorton Wilder

Does anybody know if anyone has tried to reset the play in modern times?
