Kathleen McNenny, Frances Sternhagen and Richard Thomas will appear in a script-in-hand reading of A. R. Gurney’s The Golden Age on Monday, June 20, 7pm at Westport Country Playhouse. John Tillinger will direct the performance.

The comedy centers on Isabel Hastings Hoyt (Sternhagen), once a glittering figure in the literary salons of the ’20s, who now is short of money and concerned about her granddaughter, Virginia (McNenny), a twice-divorced near alcoholic. Isabel would like to see Virginia securely married before she dies and that’s where Tom (Thomas), an ambitious young academic, comes in.
