estreno de The skin of our teeth (18 nov 1942)

Es la décima obra de teatro, de todas las realizadas hasta entonces, en la que interviene un joven Monty de 22 años recién cumplidos que librado de la guerra se labra un sólido nombre en Broadway.

Ésta es una de sus representaciones más conocidas, siendo dirigido por Elia Kazan y actuando junto a Fredrich March y Tallulah Bankhead en esta obra de Thornton Wilder.

En esta web en inglés viene bastante información del autor y la obra.
