Finished soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, “The Skin of Our Teeth,” Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer

Prize-winning allegorical comedy, tells the story of human history through a single family—the Antrobuses

of Excelsior, New Jersey, who have survived the Ice Age, floods, plagues, and wars. This Lincoln Center

Theatre revival (in previews at the Vivian Beaumont), directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, with additional

script work by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, reinterprets the Everyman family to embody the Black experience.
