Take a look at this.
This is an excerpt from the introduction of a critical analysis of the play Our Town, by Thornton Wilder. If you guys would care to critique it for a moment, I'm trusting you not to copy and use it without my permission or anything. 
The 20th century play Our Town, written by Thornton Wilder, is most recognizable for the extremely minimalist approach that it takes in the way of stagecraft and props, or the lack thereof. When these stage props, found more and more often in contemporary plays, disappear, Thornton Wilder suggested that there must be another device of the play that rises up to take its place. The dialogue. Wilder extenuates the focus of the plays three acts on the dialogue between the characters, their gestures and speech, and so the themes that they transmit. In this way, the extreme minimal approach of the play makes it seem to be much larger, and the short contents of Our Town becomes just a microcosm for the world that is our town, and all of the themes central to it.
Any suggestions?

The only word I didn't understand is microcosm.

1 : a little world; especially : the human race or human nature seen as an epitome of the world or the universe
2 : a community or other unity that is an epitome of a larger unity
