This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning
to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. He is a retired professor, with heart palpitations and a failing
memory—but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life. Ethel, ten years younger, and the perfect foil for Norman,
delights in all the small things that have enriched and continue to enrich their long life together. Their divorced, middle-aged
daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer, visit them.
The boy quickly becomes the "grandchild" the elderly couple have longed for. Norman revels in taking his ward fishing
and thrusting good books at him. He also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness—and slang—in return.
In the end, as the summer wanes, so does their brief idyll, and in the final, deeply moving moments of the play, Norman and
Ethel are brought even closer together. Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another
summer on Golden Pond still awaits. |
