THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH

By Thornton Wilder
Direction Shauna Kanter

​

PRESENTED July 6-23, 2017 at The Byrdcliffe Theater, Woodstock, NY

​

The prehistoric world meets Suburbia. The Antrobus family–George and Maggie, their children, Gladys and Henry, and Sabina, a maid who is also George’s mistress–survive the Election, Climate Change and the End of the World. Combining tragedy with comedy, wit, intelligence and imagination the play is one of the defining moments in American Theater.

​

This Pulitzer Prize winning drama is a classic, whimsically profound, cutting look at human perseverance and indestructibility. The Antrobuses are a typical American family, they have always had two children just not the same two. The play takes place on their 5,000 year wedding anniversary.
