The Skin of our Teeth (1973)

Press & Posters


"There's high comedy in the production directed by Christopher Miles, and there's good definition of character as well…..a very satisfactory revival of a classic. Sarah Miles stars as Sabina - she is gratifyingly effective, cute as a button… playing the part as a dizzy blonde, and playing her with wonderful gusto. Miss Miles' supporting cast is excellent, especially Patricia Falkenhain and Robert Gerringer, with 'forceful' Bruce Davidson as their son"
(CHICAGO TRIBUNE)


"Sarah Miles is a gamin vamp and a very decent comedienne…..who provides focus to her brother Christopher's deft directorial hand in an energetic production."
(CHICAGO DAILY NEWS)

"I must say Rick Paul's set designs and Christopher Miles' inventions did keep my eyes open…. and its certainly true that Sarah Miles is a presence to be reckoned with and fun to watch - the style is saucy and exuberant.

Robert Gerringer is a lovable indestructible, and Patricia Falkenhein is a protective mother. Louise Jenkins tells the fortunes with great gusto and savvy and Bruce Davidson as the Cain-like son and Elaine Cohen as the cowish daughter are well used… and a mention also to a singing telegram boy and the mammoth and the dinosaur."

" 'The Skin of Our Teeth' is a play calculated to make you think and laugh… and it works thanks to a strong cast, an able director, and to Miss Sarah Miles…. the play wants a whacky Keystone cops pace and Christopher Miles, the director, has managed that wondrously well. The third act with Bruce Davidson, alias Cain, is spell-binding."
(BARRINGTON COURIER AND REVIEW)
 

"Thorton Wilder's 'The Skin of Our Teeth' is more instructive than entertaining, and yet, in times of crisis, it takes on a particular significance. Sarah Miles proves she is a fine actress, and around her David Lonn has supplied an excellent supporting cast and superior technical accomplishments…. This revival of an american classic is a treat"
