Thoughts on Skin of Our Teeth

I've been reading "The Skin of Our Teeth" and I thought that I would put down some thoughts that came to me while reading it. I have to say that the play itself is extremely confusing. One minute the people are in a modern setting and the next they are talking about inventing the wheel and the alphabet. There are a lot of references especially to the bible and classical literature in what I've read so far so its interesting to say the least.

I'm going to try and understand this a little more and I hope it starts to make more sense but right now it's almost as confusing as Finnegans Wake.
