Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Its astringent distillation of life and death in the fictional early-20th-century town of Grover's Corners, N.H., is desperately needed...so Americans can remember who we are. . . . The true American faith endures in "Our Town."--Frank Rich, New York Times

"Taking as his material three periods in the history of a placid New Hampshire town, Mr. Wilder has transmuted the simple events of human life into universal reverie. He has given familiar facts a deeply moving, philosophical perspective....Our Town is one of the finest achievements of the current stage."--Brooks Atkinson

"Wilder's unfashionable insistence on embracing wonders as well as woe is both gallant and exhilarating. . . .[Our Town] leaves us with a sense of blessing, and the unspoken but palpable command to achieve gratitude in what remains of our days on earth"--The New Yorker
