Three Plays: Our Town, the Skin of Our Teeth, and the Matchmaker
Thornton Wilder
"This play is a rewritten version of the play "The merchant of Yonkers" which was directed in 1938 ..."--P. [4].
"Loud, slap-dash and uproarious... extraordinarily original and funny."
— The New York Times
"Rolls along merrily and madly and the customers are convulsed."
— New York Journal American
"The lines of Wilder are so often brilliant, sage, and witty."
— New York Daily News
"What made Wilder so distinctive among [the] greats of the 20th century was his determination not only to reach out and move people…but rather to offer actual advice for living your life, which is, dear readers, all too brief."
— Chicago Tribune
