About the Play
On Golden Pond, written by Ernest Thompson and directed by Mary Spinosa-Wilson, is the classic love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, returning to their summer home in Maine for the 48th year. Norman is a retired professor, nearing 80, with heart palpitations and a failing memory – but still as cantankerous, tart-tongued, and eager for life as ever. Ethel, 10 years younger, is the perfect foil for Norman and delights in the small things that have enriched their long life together.
They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter, Chelsea, and her dentist-fiance, Bill Ray, who then runs off to Europe leaving behind his teenage son, Billy, to stir up the waters of their ordinary routine, but who quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple has always longed for.
As the summer wanes, so does their brief idyll with a deeply moving ending that brings the couple, as well as the family, closer together. Time, they know, is against them but the years have been good and, just perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still awaits.
