Theater Review: Wilbury Theatre Group’s “The Skin of Our Teeth” — Surreal Meltdown

The WTG production succeeds largely because it heightens the absurdity of a play that takes a comic look at catastrophe.

What the play lacks in surprise, the Wilbury treatment makes up for in excellent staging, acting, and a commitment to physical theater.

Authoritarianism is at its most chilling, at least in the theater, when everyone, the weak and the strong, takes it for granted.
