The Skin of Our Teeth (1959)
Directed by Henry Kaplan
Overview
Production of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-winning play about mankind’s triumph over chaos, which wildly altered dramatic conventions in freely shifting between modern-day New Jersey and the ice age. Meet George and Maggie Antrobus (married only 5,000 years); their two children, Gladys and Henry (perfect in every way!); and their maid, Sabina (the ageless vamp) as they overcome ice, flood, and war — by the skin of their teeth.
