Adrien PR – Our Town

Our Town is a play written by Thornton Wilder. It tells the story of 2 families who are neighbours in fictional town called Grovers Corners, in New Hampshire, in the 1900s.  The teenage girl from one of the families and the teenage boy from the other family end up marrying, and in act three, the wife dies and explores what it’s like to relive a moment in your life through your eyes once you’ve already finished your life. I actually quite likes the play, I’ve definitely heard the name Grover’s Corners before, so I’ve heard of the play before, and I might have even started reading it in my old school. But anyway, I liked it, I found it interesting, I think it did a good job allowing me to picture how life was in the 1900s, and it also did a good job depicting what goes on in families and in households with kids or teens. I found, obviously since it was written way after the other 2 books we’ve read, it was easy to understand. I think they also did a good job with the acting in the actual on-stage play as well, the actors looks well-suited their role, and they all did a great job acting as if they were actually living their life. So, in conclusion, I would read this book again.
