A R Gurney's What I Did Last Summer

at 4137 Piedmont Avenue
(see times)
What I Did Last Summer. A. R. Gurney play set in July 1945. Dads and Husbands are away at War. Charlie is 14 and at War with his Mother. A touching, funny story set just before the World Changed Forever.
Mom struggles with this rebellious teen-age son, with a sarcastic, snoopy daughter, and with her own loneliness and desires. She is at war with her old art teacher who vies with her for her son’s affections. It’s a hot summer, just before the whole world changes forever. But before the summer ends, Charlie will go through that all-too-universal adolescent rebellion, and along the way, will learn about girls, art, and about thinking for himself.
The NY Post raved, "Bravo to all and particularly a bravo to that new sage and chronicler of the American white middle class, Gurney." The London Stage reviewed it as "…warm, touching and humorous, with something to say about the conflict between materialism and idealism which is so basic to the American dream."
The cast features Rosie Fry, Melanie Marshall, Brett Mermer, Alison Whismore, Susannah Wood, Nathan Zabala, and Cameron Dodd as "Charlie."
