The Skin of Our Teeth — Thornton Wilder

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Skin of Our Teeth is an unconventional three-part comedy-drama centered on the Antrobus family of Excelsior, New Jersey, who repeatedly struggle to survive disasters that threaten humanity itself. Moving freely across historical periods and deliberately breaking theatrical conventions, the play turns one seemingly ordinary American family into an allegory for the endurance of humankind. At once comic and philosophical, it explores catastrophe, resilience, family conflict, and humanity’s persistent capacity to begin again.
