Described by Edward Albee as “ . . . the greatest American play ever written,” the story follows the small town of Grovers’ Corners through three acts: “Daily Life”, “Love and Marriage”, and “Death and Eternity”.
Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the audience follows the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually - in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre - die.
Following the daily lives of the Gibbs and Webb families, as well as the other inhabitants of Grovers’ Corners, Wilder illustrates the importance of the universality of the simple, yet meaningful lives of all people in the world in order to demonstrate the value of appreciating life.
