This year marks the 75th anniversary year of the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, which broke theater production values at the time by: being a meta-drama, having the cast double and triple minor roles, having no set and few props. The play tells the story of the small New Hampshire town of Grover’s Corners and its citizens as they live their seemingly simple lives in the early twentieth century but the audience is encouraged to make universal connections between that time and ours.
