In these mini-masterpieces, Wilder experiments with techniques and dramatic forms he would later develop in his celebrated full-length works, \u003ci\u003eOur Town\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Matchmaker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Skin of Our Teeth\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Alcestiad\u003c\/i\u003e. Among these plays we encounter a first glimpse of Wilder's Stage Manager; his use of pantomime, minimal scenery, and farce; as well as his signature connection between the commonplace and the cosmic dimensions of the human experience.","brand":"Samuel French, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49827577004272,"sku":"9780573601781","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780573601781","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
