The Skin of Our Teeth at Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre

THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH By Thornton Wilder Winner 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Drama Directed by Bob Paisley Meet George and Maggie Antrobus of Excelsior, New Jersey, a suburban, commuter-town couple (married for 5,000 years), who bear more than a casual resemblance to that first husband and wife, Adam and Eve: the two Antrobus children, Gladys and Henry (who likes to throw rocks); and their garrulous maid, Sabina. Whether he is inventing the alphabet or merely saving the world from apocalypse, George and his redoubtable family somehow manage to survive--by the skin of their teeth.
