Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Skin of Our Teeth is a 1942 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Thornton Wilder, better known for Our Town. It follows the Antrobus family through thousands of years of existence, moving from an ice age to the biblical Flood to the aftermath of a war much like World War II but worse, mostly without leaving the fictional suburban town of Excelsior, New Jersey. The main characters--George and Maggie Antrobus, their children Henry and Gladys, and maid Sabina--are frequently utilized as allegories for biblical figures and archetypes, and are visited by historical figures and mythical or historical events. Needless to say, the whole play is swimming in an Anachronism Stew. |
