This classic American play, performed on an almost-bare stage, is about the mundane but rather pleasant lives of the Gibbs family, the Webb family, and their neighbors in Grover's Corners, early in the 20th century. The play, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1938, focusses particularly on the lives of George Gibbs, a doctor's son, and Emily Webb, the daughter of a newspaper editor. While this acclaimed masterpiece appears simple and nostalgic, it also delivers powerful life lessons, relevant to any generation.
