The Skin of Our Teeth is the story of the extraordinary members of the Antrobus family who, despite flood, fire, pestilence, and a dozen wars, continue to survive. Ultimately bewitched, befuddled, and becalmed, they are the stuff of which heroes and buffoons are made. Their survival is a wacky testament to faith in humanity in this Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Audiences and critics alike applauded Wilder's unconventional 1942 drama about the history of humankind. Ending exactly as it began, the play illustrates the cyclical nature of existence, celebrating humanity's resilience, inventiveness, and will to survive. Combining modern theatrical experiments and timeless human themes, Wilder produced a work that has both challenged and entertained generations of Americans.
