The Skin of Our Teeth 1999
Director's Note
​
The Skin of Our Teeth is a Pulitzer Prize winning play by Thornton Wilder. For lack of a better term. it is a comedy of errors and of life about George Antrobus, his wife and two children, their general utility maid, Lily Sabina, and all of Excelsior, New Jersey. George Antrobus is John Doe, George Spelvin, you or me--the average American at grips with a destiny, sometimes sour, sometimes sweet. The Antrobuses have survived fire, flood pestilence, the seven-year locusts, the ice age, the black pox and the double feature, a dozen wars and as many depressions. They run many a gamut, are as durable as radiators, and look upon the future with a disarming optimism. Alternately bewitched, befuddled, and becalmed, they are the stuff of which heroes are made--heroes and buffoons. They are true offspring of Adam and Eve, victims of all the ills that flesh is heir to. They have survived a thousand calamities by the skin of their teeth. Here is a tribute to their, and our, indestructibility. As John Steinbeck says through the character of Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath, "Why, we're the people--we go on."
