Two Shows At Trinity Rep

The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder. Through October 13. The end of the world as we know it? In Thornton Wilder's sweeping salute to human ingenuity,a model family (The Antrobus's) confront flood, famine, war and worse. Speeding through the millennia with poise and flair, they beat the odds every time. In 1941, the author of Our Town created this masterpiece of imagination and spirit that strikes a deep chord today. Charming, funny and poignant, it shines the spotlight back on us, doing what we do best: we survive, if only by "the skin of our teeth".



Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill. Through November 3 FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY
With acrobatic wit and stunning alacrity, Caryl Churchill (Serious Money, Top Girls) breaks down the barriers of time, gender roles and racial boundaries. Starting out in colonial Africa, then jumping to London in the swinging seventies, men play women, blacks play whites, and one of those kids is a real doll. Shattering taboos when it premiered in 1979, Cloud Nine still sizzles today. It's Churchill at her best - provocative, insightful, and just plain hilarious. The Trinity Rep company joins actors from Berkeley Rep in this co-production, directed by Berkeley's Artistic Director Tony Taccone.
