Time is essence

Thornton Wilder’s Our Town is three acts dedicated to the dynamics of the city life in America. I absolutely love this play. It is so moving and teaches us all an important lesson. This play truly shows how to appreciate life, and not let it get by you before it is over. To take opportunity, and control ones like and just love to live was the message I got. Wilder really showed interest and made a point on two important things: relationships and time. Already discussing how time can steal life away from us, it also shows how all people take it for granted. Also, Seeing how this play was written in the 1930’s, it is amazing to see all the things that have carried over into this generation. such as in David Kelley’s television drama Picket Fences or the interactions between characters in Stephen King’s Needful Things. This play was so well written, always keeping me on edge and wondering what happened next. My favorite part of this production is just the simple fact that it has a valuable message sent out, and this message can be applied to everyone.
