Our Town by Thornton Wilder presented by The Experimental Stage group of Milos
A symbolic play written by Thornton Wilder, performed in three acts, which deals with the most important phases of human life: everyday life, love and marriage, death and eternity. Using the story of two American families at the beginning of the 20th century, Wilder unfolds the story of men and women, regardless of time and place. It is an unconventional work in that it has no scenery or props except for tables, chairs and a few other objects. When actors dine, they hold imaginary utensils and eat imaginary food. When the milkman makes deliveries from his horse-drawn cart, there is no horse or cart, although the audience may hear clip-clops or whinnies. And so goes the entire play. Author Thornton Wilder presented the play in this way to force the audience to concentrate on the characters and the themes. "Our Town" is a hymn to our daily life, to this miracle, that the most we live it, the most we appreciate it and which the less we perceive it, the less we live it, as the pioneering Greek writer and critic Marios Ploritis once wrote.
