The Skin of Our Teeth Production History

The Skin of Our Teeth opened on Broadway at the Plymouth Theatre in November, 1942, and was an immediate smash hit. Directed by Elia Kazan, it starred Fredric March and Florence Eldridge as Mr. and Mrs. Antrobus, Tallulah Bankhead as Sabina, and Montgomery Clift, at the beginning of his career, as Henry.
Just as he had done several years earlier with Our Town, Thornton Wilder again stretched the bounds of theatrical convention. Elia Kazan wrote in his autobiography A Life
Many of the audience were mystified . . . but [that] reaction became part of the talk that made the play immediately famous. I overheard one couple talking as they left the theatre. "What’s it all about?" the man complained to his wife. "Why, George," she said, "it’s about love and hate and passion and everything — ever since the world began." "Well," the man said, "there must be more to it than that."
The Skin of Our Teeth was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for that year, and has since been produced countless times throughout the country and the world.
