The current production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” is his sixth to play on Broadway. It more than meets any challengers.

For those unfamiliar with the play, don’t expect a homey picture of a quaint village somewhere in the sticks. No, Wilder deals with universal ideas. He presented the miniature but always poised it against the monumental.
