Insight Theatre Company Presents ON GOLDEN POND Next Month
Insight Theatre Company continues its 10th season with On Golden Pond. On Golden Pond had its Broadway appearance in 1979. Directed by Ernest Thompson and reopened again the following season. It received a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play and received 5 Drama Desk Awards: Outstanding New Play, Outstanding Actor in a Play, Outstanding Actress in a play.
In 2005 it also received a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play and Best Actor in a Play.
When it was adapted for the screen in 1981, it starred Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn and Jane Fonda, and was highly acclaimed.
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, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory-but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever. 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. They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who then go off to Europe, leaving his teenage son behind for the summer.
On Golden Pond is presented through special arrangements with GRAHAM Agency.
