Item description
Vintage original 5.25 x 8.25 in. US booklet entitled "OUR TOWN" REMEMBERED, written by Thomas Coley and published in 1982. This First edition tells of the reminiscences of the rehearsals and first performances of this seminal play. The front cover was inscribed in black ink by Thomas Coley to actress Katherine Bard [Manulis] and her television producer husband, Martin Manulis on the upper wrapper thusly: "For Kate and Martin - This is what is known as a "clean" copy! Much love, Tom." This small 8vo is between stiff white wrappers and is in fine condition.
Our Town is a 1938 metatheatrical three-act play by American playwright Thornton Wilder which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play tells the story of the fictional American small town of Grover's Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. Throughout, Wilder uses metatheatrical devices, setting the play in the actual theatre where it is being performed. The main character is the stage manager of the theatre, who directly addresses the audience, brings in guest lecturers, fields questions from the audience, and fills-in playing some of the roles. The play is performed without a set on a mostly bare stage. With a few exceptions, the actors mime actions without the use of props. Our Town was first performed at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey in 1938. It later went on to success on Broadway and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Described by Edward Albee as "the greatest American play ever written," the play remains popular today and revivals are frequent.

Martin Ellyot Manulis (May 30, 1915 – September 28, 2007) was an American television, film, and theatre producer. Manulis was best known for his work in the 1950s, producing the CBS Television programs Suspense, Studio One Summer Theatre, Climax!, The Best of Broadway, and Playhouse 90.
