Beatriz Espejo in México finished to write and published "Los eternos dioses" in 2023 following the epistolar structure and Ancient Rome characters like Wilder's "The Ides of March". National Writer Prize that year in my country 😅

The maestro!

Thanks. Only discovering him. But there's so much in life to discover

People never mention that the fulcrum of the story `Miss Dolly Gallagher Levi' does not exist at all in the source material. (ie: the hungarian story about the clerks who take the day off) She was transmographied into being from Thorton Wilders friendship with Ruth Gordon. Ruth didn't do the plays first Theatre Guild incarnation in 1938 "The Merchant of Yonkers" as the guild had hired a director who did not speak English well enough to grasp all the nuances of this comedy..At any rate this was Gordon's reason. But with the 1954 re-write as "The Matchmaker" and a stellar reception at that years Edinburgh Festival Ruth was ready to bring it to Broadway🎉

Sorry you don't highlight Heaven's My Destination-an elegiac tribute to Christian belief.

I watched the 1940 film just yesterday. Even on repeated viewings its freshness never dims. I've seen this, too, very evocation itself.

Bravo, Wilder !!!

My favorite book, and one of the best ever written - divinely inspired.

There is always more to say about 'Our Town'. It is the greatest play ever written in any language because it is the only play which can apply to every last person anywhere anytime. You must NOT have any sets. You must NOT have any props. You must only respect that the women are women and the men are men. Beyond that, there is no limit to how you cast this play. It could be in Jo'berg or Osaka as well as Grover's Corners because GC stands for every town anywhere anywhen. I think we all want to live there, really. I think we all should live there.

Why no discussion of the fact that Wilder was a gay man. His sexuality is an ever present factor in all his work. Writers Samuel Steward and Glenway Wescott are just two of the gay men who knew Wilder and tried to get him to open the door to the closet he lived in.

Just finished reading The Ides of March. I was so struck by Caesar's Journal LXIX regarding liberty. "There is no liberty save in responsibility." Prophetic of our current political situation. I wanted to read the whole entry out loud to anyone with ears. But as Caesar says, those who rail about their liberty being restricted are the first to wish to silence those who disagree with them, to restrict citizenship to a chosen few.

Does anybody know if anyone has tried to reset the play in modern times?

What is that music? It's great.

There can be no greater expression of love than that you EXIST!

Boring

This play is timeless, it will be as relevant in 500 years as it was when written.

I needed this conversation! Thank you.

no way is this the real Thorton Wilder

Mrs. Gibbs: "only it seems to me, that once in your life, before you die, you ought to see a country where they don't talk in English ... and don't even want to." Doc Gibbs admonishing George for leaving his mother to do his chore of chopping wood: "And you eat her meals, and put on the clothes she keeps nice for you, and you run off and play baseball like she's some hired girl we keep around the house ... but that we don't like very much."

What is the play exactly?

Played George my Senior Year of High School. The show is always a reminder to try to be like the saints and poets and try to experience every moment of life

with every human being you have layers and layers of nonsence until you get at the core.
