Reviews
Taking as his material three periods in the history of a placid New Hampshire town, Mr. Wilder has transmuted the simple events of human life into universal reverie. He has given familiar facts a deeply moving, philosophical perspective....Our Town is one of the finest achievements of the current stage., Wilder's unfashionable insistence on embracing wonders as well as woe is both gallant and exhilarating. . . .[Our Town] leaves us with a sense of blessing, and the unspoken but palpable command to achieve gratitude in what remains of our days on earth, "Its astringent distillation of life and death in the fictional early-20th-century town of Grover's Corners, N.H., is desperately needed...so Americans can remember who we are. . . . The true American faith endures in "Our Town."
