"Does anyone ever realise life while they live it… every, every minute?"

A Rose Theatre and Welsh National Theatre production

By Thornton Wilder
Directed by Francesca Goodridge
Creative Associate, Russell T Davies

Grover’s Corners is a quiet little town, full of ordinary folk, living everyday lives. They work, they laugh, they sing, they fall in love and raise their children, and grow old.

But within those moments of ordinary, everyday life, there are truths that reach out to us all. And a passionate demand to cherish every moment, right now, while we still can.

Our Town is American playwright Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece, and this new production — starring internationally celebrated actor Michael Sheen — sees the story through a Welsh lens, bringing new life and vivid resonance for modern audiences.
