    <![CDATA[<p>A timeless statement about human foibles . . . and human endurance, this beautiful new edition features Wilder's unpublished production notes, diary entries, and other illuminating documentary material, all of which is included in a new Afterword by Tappan Wilder.</p><p>Time magazine called <em>The Skin of Our Teeth</em> &quot;a sort of <em>Hellzapoppin'</em> with brains,&quot; as it broke from established theatrical conventions and walked off with the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama. Combining farce, burlesque, and satire (among other styles), Thornton Wilder departs from his studied use of nostalgia and sentiment in <em>Our Town</em> to have an Eternal Family narrowly escape one disaster after another, from ancient times to the present. Meet George and Maggie Antrobus (married only 5,000 years); their two children, Gladys and Henry (perfect in <em>every</em> way!); and their maid, Sabina (the ageless vamp) as they overcome ice, flood, and war -- by the skin of their teeth. </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This play is funny and absurd and wonderful the way it chronicles the whole of human history in three acts. The world ends and begins and ends and begins again.

    <![CDATA[<p>A timeless statement about human foibles . . . and human endurance, this beautiful new edition features Wilder's unpublished production notes, diary entries, and other illuminating documentary material, all of which is included in a new Afterword by Tappan Wilder.</p><p>Time magazine called <em>The Skin of Our Teeth</em> &quot;a sort of <em>Hellzapoppin'</em> with brains,&quot; as it broke from established theatrical conventions and walked off with the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama. Combining farce, burlesque, and satire (among other styles), Thornton Wilder departs from his studied use of nostalgia and sentiment in <em>Our Town</em> to have an Eternal Family narrowly escape one disaster after another, from ancient times to the present. Meet George and Maggie Antrobus (married only 5,000 years); their two children, Gladys and Henry (perfect in <em>every</em> way!); and their maid, Sabina (the ageless vamp) as they overcome ice, flood, and war -- by the skin of their teeth. </p>]]>
