Synopsis
A Chekhovian comedy from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lillian Hellman about the sad and funny frailties of human existence. As the summer of 1949 draws to a close, a group of middle-aged friends are gathering for their annual retreat at a genteel Southern resort. An acquaintance from the past thrusts himself into the yearly gathering, forcing them to re-examine their mundane yet seemingly idyllic existence, the opportunities they've lost, and the lives that have passed them by. A full-cast production featuring: Julie Harris, Mary Steenburgen, Eric Stoltz, Scott Wolf, Roxanne Hart, David Clennon, Glenne Headly, Lynne Marta, Gates McFadden, Tracy Middendorf, David Selby and Jeronimo Spinx.
