Wilder's passionate plea in the play is to appreciate every moment of every day, because life is a fleeting thing. As unrest rapidly spread across Europe and war became an imminent reality, people were inundated with negative aspects of life. Seeing Notre Ville was like escaping the negative and rejoicing in the ordinary; it reaffirmed faith in the unchanging moral values ​​of small-town life. It was obviously the balm that the public needed in a pessimistic and changing world. Through his play, Wilder tries to teach the audience to seize the moment and enjoy life. There is no guarantee of a certain lifespan, as evidenced by the untimely deaths of Emily Webb and her brother Wally; tomorrow it may be too late. By titling the play Our Town and describing ordinary people and events, viewers and readers of the play can identify with the theme and apply it to their own lives. Our city is an unusual structure game. It intentionally contains little action, in order to support the theme; nothing exciting or suspenseful happens in any of the three acts, just as nothing exciting happens in Grover's Corners. The play also ignores most dramatic conventions. At the beginning, the stage manager walks onto an empty stage to speak directly to the audience; he tells them the play is ready to begin. He then describes the appearance of Grover's Corners and its inhabitants. The play also ignores the unity of time and place. Between the first and second acts, three years pass. Then between the second and third acts, nine additional years pass. Furthermore, the omniscient stage manager repeated flashbacks to the past and flash-forwards to the future, further denying the unity of time. The play also has many locations. Although the entire play takes place in or around Grover's Corners, each act has a different and distinct key setting. In Act I, most of the action takes place in the Webbs' and Gibbs' homes; Often, the activity of both houses is seen on stage at the same time, in order to emphasize the similarity of things in this small town. The second act takes place largely at the church, where Emily and George get married..
