Wilder, Thornton Niven


US dramatist and novelist. He won Pulitzer Prizes for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1927) and for the plays Our Town (1938) and The Skin of Our Teeth (1942). His farce The Matchmaker (1954) was filmed in 1958. In 1964 it was adapted into the hit stage musical Hello, Dolly!, and also made into a film. His plays are overtly philosophical, they generally employ no props or scenery, and the characters often directly address the audience.
