The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."

Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning play brings to life the fate and foibles of the celebrated Antrobus family-a bold and brassy embodiment of Wilder's vision of the American people. Having survived fire, flood, pestilence, seven-year locusts, the Ice Age, and a dozen wars, the Antrobuses are as durable as radiators, and remain optimistic as a spring day. This eloquent comedy serves up an allegorical tale of one American family whose members must come to grips with their own destinies.

Wilder calls his morality play "a history of mankind in a comic strip," and though the history is allusive and surrealist, the strip is undeniably comic. A genuine modern classic, featuring Blair Brown (The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd), Emmy-winners Rue McClanahan (Golden Girls) and Sada Thompson (Pollock) and Academy Award-winner John Houseman (The Paper Chase).
