Our Town

Thornton Wilder

In CliffsNotes on Our Town, Emily Webb and George Gibbs grow up together and marry in the town of Grover's Corners. After Emily dies during childbirth, she is reluctant to break her ties with the living and decides to relive her twelfth birthday. She soon realizes how people fail to appreciate the everyday joys of life and living and returns to the cemetery. Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning Our Town reminds playgoers to notice and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
