In Act one George and Emily are sixteen while their younger siblings, Rebecca and Wally respectively, are eleven. Both couples have children the same ages. The play centers on two families: the Webb family and the Gibbs family, who live next door to one another. It is a small town, roughly 2600 people, who mostly farm. The town they describe is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire. Third, he knows what will happen in the future, and sometimes comments on events that will happen to characters years later. Second, he occasionally leaves his role as narrator to take on the parts of several characters in the play. First, he talks directly to the audience and acknowledges that he is in a play. The Stage Manager, who is the narrator of the play, breaks several rules of theater. Performers must pantomime many objects throughout the show. This play is unconventional in its use of minimal sets and complete lack of props. The first act describes their daily lives, the second act focuses on love and marriage, and the third act discusses death.
This play by Thornton Wilder represents the daily lives of people in America from 1901 to 1913.
