In this time-traveling tragicomedy by acclaimed playwright Thornton Wilder (Our Town), the Antrobus family is made up of husband George, wife Maggie, their children Henry and Gladys, and their maid Sabina. They live an ordinary life in suburban New Jersey – except that Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus have been married for 5,000 years, the actress playing Sabina is constantly threatening to quit the play, and the family pets are a baby dinosaur and a woolly mammoth. Together they survive an Ice Age, the Biblical Flood and an apocalyptic war by – how else? – the skin of their teeth. Featuring an Atlantic City boardwalk and a bomb shelter brimming with books, The Skin of Our Teeth is a moving and hilarious tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.
