Britain's What's On Event Guide
On Golden Pond
It's May 1979. Ethel and Norman Thayer arrive for their 48th summer on the shores of Golden Pond in Maine. Norman, tetchy, outspoken and pessimistic, is starting to lose his memory. He's also about to turn 80 and he's in no mood to celebrate. His long-suffering but loving wife, Ethel, is ten years younger and the cheerful flipside to Norman. When semi-estranged daughter Chelsea arrives with her new fiancé Bill and his 13-year-old son, Norman is aghast...but young and old will learn lessons from each other before September comes. (This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International on behalf of Josef Weinberger Ltd. www.mtishows.co.uk) Some views expressed in this play would no longer be condoned, but were acceptable at the time of writing, and reflect the character's agitation. Retaining these opinions is a requirement of the licence agreement.
