The Ross Valley Players' Presents THE MIDDLE AGES 7/16-8/15

The Ross Valley Players presents THE MIDDLE AGES by A.R. Gurney. From the author of "Love Letters" comes this bittersweet, romantic and social comedy spanning the decades from WW II to the 70's. Playwright A.R. Gurney chronicles a relationship in this romantic comedy that begins in the 1940s and continues into the 1970s touching on history and social issues including classism, racism, anti-Semitism, the Korean War, the turbulent 60's, the women's movement and free love.

Set in the trophy room of a men's club from World War II through the late 1970s, Gurney illustrates the conflict between longstanding traditions and the need for change when Barney, a contemporary descendant of the eccentric and lovable top drawer set, declares his lifelong passion for the wife of his straight arrow younger brother.
