Wilder's plays have a active time component set in them where the characters grow old on stage and the readers/viewers get to see the change between acts - as was the case in Our Town.

In The Long Christmas dinner, Wilder does all of it in one act with ages and time marked on the stage and merges one event across different times. Its a fascinating take on life, death and relationships.
