Absurd reality

During the first act, a block of ice comes from Canada, marking the beginning of an impending ice age. This sets the tone for stress and the arrival of refugees seeking safety. Wilder introduces the audience to George Antrobus and his wife Maggie, their children Henry and Gladys, and their attractive maid Lily Sabina Fairweather in the middle-class New Jersey town of Excelsior. George is an inventor, and the characters get lost in their absurd reality.
