Sydney Theatre Company presents

Our Town

by Thornton Wilder

 

It’s 1901. Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. Welcome to Our Town.

A small American town like any other; simple, sleepy and cheerful. People here are like people anywhere else: they are born, they fall in love, they die. Ordinary people leading ordinary lives. Or so we might believe, until the Stage Manager – our guide for the evening – takes us on a tour of the town and we begin to glimpse how extraordinary even the most ordinary of lives can be.

Sliding between the past, the present and the future, we follow George and Emily – one of the most winsome couples in theatrical history – as they grow up, fall in love, marry and start their own family.

Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play from 1938 makes an affecting philosophical case for relishing life in the here and now. Heart-warming and humorous, Our Town celebrates the everyday and is a powerful call to appreciate life while we are in it.

Cate & Andrew say...

Andrew: This is a play that most people have heard of but few have seen. It’s a moving interrogation of the American Dream and the shadow of mortality.

Cate: And it’s one of our favourites.
