"Does anyone ever realise life while they live it... every, every minute?"
Grover's Corners is a quiet little town, full of ordinary folk, living everyday lives. They work, they laugh, they sing, they fall in love and raise their children and grow old.
But within those moments of ordinary, everyday life, there are truths that reach out to us all. And a passionate demand to cherish every moment, right now, while we still can.
Our Town is American playwright Thornton Wilder's masterpiece, and this new production sees the story through a Welsh lens, bringing new life and vivid resonance for modern audiences.
When Dylan Thomas created his own version of village life in Under Milk Wood, it's said that he knew both Wilder and this play. That common bond makes Our Town the perfect inaugural production of the WNT, showcasing the finest talent Welsh in a play with universal and timeless resonance.
Michael Sheen said: "Our Town is a play about life, love and community. That's what matters to us in Wales; that's what matters to me. It's a play that compels us to celebrate the everyday, to hold the ones we cherish. I can't think of a better play to welcome audiences around Wales and in London to the Welsh National Theatre, along with our co-production partners The Rose Theatre."
