The Skin of Our Teeth is an astonishing production of the classic play at A Noise Within through September 29th. It is insatiably alive with sharp-fanged wit, whimsical thoughtfulness, and improbable wonder. The Skin of Our Teeth is audaciously satirical, but also earnest its incandescent meditation on the eternal human cycle of apocalypse and overindulgence.

The Skin of Our Teeth is now open at Berkshire Theatre Group! What did the critics have to say? Read all the reviews!

The sometimes confusing, amusing, and thought-provoking play premiered in 1942. This production has been freshened up a bit and includes modern references some of which are particularly relevant to the Berkshires. The main characters are George and Maggie Antrobus, their two children, Henry and Gladys, and Sabina, who appears as the family's maid in the first and third acts, and as a beauty queen temptress in the second act. The play's action takes place in a relatively modern setting but is full of anachronisms reaching back to prehistoric times.
