“OUR TOWN”
By Thornton Wilder
Directed by Joseph Meighan
8th – 13th May 2023
Altrincham Garrick Playhouse
Love and marriage, birth and death. Seen from a distance they’re just the rhythm of everyday life: but when you’re caught up in the middle and they are happening to you, they are the whole world.
As the sun rises on another ordinary day, the townsfolk of Grover’s Corners go about their business: newspapers are delivered; people go to work; gardens are tended to. And a boy and girl fall in love. But as life’s events unfold and a community comes together, one question remains: “do any human beings ever realise life as they live it? Every, every minute?”.
Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning small- town epic of human existence remains as theatrically fresh and as topical as ever; it explores what it means to live and the bonds that unite us all.
Please note that this is a 3 act play with two 15 minute intervals (approximately 2hours 40 mins included intervals).
