The play is about parents and children, how we don’t see what we don’t want to see, dreams delayed, disappointment, responsibility and love. Gardener Church, in his 70’s, is an eminent New England poet with early signs of dementia. The household is held together by the formidable Fanny Church (60’s) an eccentric Bostonian from a fine old family with a unique turn of phrase. Margaret, their slightly estranged daughter in her 30’s, is a bohemian painter in the ‘modern’ mode on the cusp of fame. She has returned for the weekend to help her parents move out of their long-time home to Cape Cod and hopes they will let her paint their portrait. The show runs about 2 hours with intermission.
