Explanation:

In one way that "Our Town", by Thornton Wilder, "broke away" from traditional theater of his time period was to use very little scenery on his set. At the time the sets of most American plays were full and representative and the actors only addressed each other. Wilder's stages were bare, there was only an occasional chair or stool and the actors addressed the audience.
