On Golden Pond

Ernest Thompson’s On Golden Pond takes place on an idyllic New Hampshire cottage where retired professor, Norma Thayer and his wife, Ethel, have summered for nearly 50 years. Ethel has maintained her great vitality, but her husband seems defeated by the ravages of time and his own mortality. When their estranged daughter arrives with her fiance and his 13-year-old son, the blend of new personalities and old family scores distills into compelling drama that celebrates the profound ties of family and the precious nature of life.
