Plot Synopsis:
The play takes place on Labor day Weekend in the
joint backyards of two middle-aged widows.
The one house belongs to Flo Owens, who lives there with her two maturing
daughters, Madge and Millie,
and a boarder who is a spinster school teacher. The other house belongs to Helen
Potts, who lives with her elderly and invalid mother.
Into this female atmosphere comes a young man named Hal Carter, whose animal
vitality seriously upsets the entire group.
Hal is a most interesting character, a child of parents who ignored him,
self-conscious of his failings and his position behind the eight ball.
Flo is sensitively wary of temptations for her daughters. Madge, bored with
being only a beauty, sacrifices her chances
for a wealthy marriage for the excitement Hal promises. Her sister, Millie,
finds her balance for the first time
through the stranger's brief attention. And the spinster is stirred to make an
issue out of the dangling courtship
that has brightened her life in a dreary, minor way.
Summer Brave is the rewritten version of Picnic
that was produced in 2000. It basically tells the same story but with a
new ending!
