   Our Town

   Thornton Wilder · at 28:06

   Our Town by Thornton Wilder is a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that examines the ordinary, everyday lives of the inhabitants of a small fictional American town, ultimately meditating on the universal themes of mortality and human connection.

   Discussed

   “I've read enough scripts and I've seen enough plays to know that there is that like divine spark dark when you read something that is like our town or something that is so and you know we used to be a culture that aimed toward that”
