9 November 2017 – 11 November 2017 @ Theatre Studio, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Synopsis

Grover's Corners is an idyllic and unremarkable town. But everything around it is quietly changing: industrialisation and capitalism are on the rise and World War I is on the horizon. Will these changes weaken the ties that bind the townsfolk together?

Our Town is an intercultural interpretation of Wilder's insightful and moving portrait of small town life. 80 years after it was first performed, find out what Our Town can tell us about living in a multicultural, multilingual, modern world. This is Our Town as you've never seen it before.
