American Playhouse background

American Playhouse

Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer-winning play comes to life in a groundbreaking film adaptation, merging modern-day New Jersey with the ice age to redefine traditional drama. At its center is the eccentric Antrobus family and their extraordinary pets.

The play "The Skin of Our Teeth" is a groundbreaking production that redefines dramatic conventions. It takes place in both modern-day New Jersey and the ice age, where the Antrobus family, including their dinosaur pets, navigate the challenges of life. The play's unique feature is its direct address to the audience, where characters break the fourth wall to criticize their own dialogue, creating a self-aware and thought-provoking experience.
