WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Intiman Playhouse season launches with Artistic Director Bartlett Sher's production of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. Wilder received Pulitzer Prizes for both Our Town and this dazzling play about a typical American family--in a not-so-typical American family drama. Wilder's allegorical Everyfamily (think Adam and Eve, married for 5,000 years and representing the whole human race) live in a world continuously at risk of being trampled by a dinosaur, threatened by an iceberg, ravaged by a flood and ruined by war. Wilder's comedy is a tribute to the indomitable human will to triumph over natural and man-made disasters alike--if only by the skin of our teeth.

Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, now being given a new production at the Intiman Theatre, is like a loopy, semester-long survey course in the history of the western world, crammed with the playwright's all-time favorites: an Ice Age, a visit from Moses, a convention of mammals, and the Jersey shore. In spite of an imaginative, break-the-rules approach -- a 20th century family keeps a pet baby dinosaur; actors break character to comment on the script -- the professor is a traditionalist at heart, prone to long-winded speeches that wear the audience down and stretch the action to a marathon three hours.
Wilder depicts humanity's age-long struggle for survival through the Antrobus fa[...]
