Summary |
In a comfortable house on a Cornish estuary lives the widowed Stella, a woman of considerable gifts and beauty who regularly rejects proposals of marriage from her sturdy neighbour Robert Hanson. Cherry, Stella's lively daughter, brings home her artist husband Evan for the first time and Stella is shocked by the bohemian incompleteness of their marriage. She finds herself attracted to Evan and soon they are passionately in love - although much is left unspoken, Evan eventually compels Stella to admit her feelings. The conflict between duty and desire is resolved when Evan accepts a job offer in New York. This is an autumnal play, subtle but radiant in its exploration of the conflict between generations and the responsibilities of love. --www.doollee.com. |
