| Notes: | Set in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. Through flashbacks, dialogue and monologues, the characters reveal themselves. There’s George Gibbs, a doctor’s son, and Emily Webb, daughter of a newspaper editor. There’s also a Stage Manager who sits at the side of the stage and explains the action. COMMENTS — Our Town won a Pulitzer Prize. It was considered enormously innovative for its lack of props and scenery. |
