Quintessence Theatre Group, Philadelphia’s home for classic repertory theatre, presents a full virtual production of Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth, starring Tony Award winner Rachel Bay Jones and Leigha Kato.
JULY 19 - AUGUST 1 2021
George and Maggie Antrobus live a seemingly perfect life in suburban Excelsior, New Jersey with two beautiful children and a maid to attend to them day and night. Over 5,000 years of marriage, the family refuses to let small inconveniences - a fire, flood, the Ice Age, plague, a dozen wars, and as many depressions - get in the way of their survival or happiness. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1943, Thornton Wilder’s boundary-breaking allegorical comedy is a tribute to the disarming optimism, resilience, and indestructibility of the American spirit, while also confronting the paradoxical ideals on which our country was founded.
"TO WATCH IT AS AMERICA EMERGES NERVOUSLY FROM THE PANDEMIC CANNOT BE OTHER THAN TONIC, AND THIS EXCEPTIONALLY FINE PRODUCTION IS THE RIGHT SHOW FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT."
