THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH is Thornton Wilder’s bold, three-part allegory of human survival. It follows the Antrobus family through ages of natural disaster, war, and renewal. Blending surrealist comedy with epic drama, the play captures humanity’s continual struggle to endure “by the skin of our teeth”... an urgent message in today’s world of conflict and climate crisis.
