Skin of Our Teeth May 27, 2007

'The Skin of Our Teeth' by Thornton Wilder is a Pulitzer Prize-winning tragic-comedy about the history of humankind. The story of the 20th century American Antrobus family recounts such apocalyptical events as the onset of the Ice Age, the start of the Great Flood and the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Ending just as it began, the play illustrates the cyclical nature of human existence, celebrating humanity's resiliency, inventiveness and the will to survive.
