On Golden Pond

By Ernest Thompson

By Special Arrangement by Dramatists Play Service

​

Norman Thayer, a retired professor, and Ethel have had a summer cottage on Golden Pond since early in their marriage. This summer their daughter Chelsea -- whom they haven't seen for years -- feels she must be there for Norman's birthday. She & her fiancé are on their way to Europe the next day but will be back in a couple of weeks to pick up the fiancé's son.  The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the couple has longed for, and as Norman revels in taking his ward fishing & thrusting good books at him, he also learns some lessons about modern teenage awareness – and slang – in return. The visit with Billy prompts Norman to "get it in gear" and holds out the possibility of reconciliation within the family.
