CHILDREN is set
in the summer estate of a wealthy "WASP" family on
a resort island off the New England coast over the 4th of July
weekend, 1970. The sixty-something matriarch of the family is
joined by her recently divorced daughter, her prep school teacher
son and his "trophy" wife. Their idyllic life is threatened
by two jarring events. This absorbing, literate play blends humor
and revealing irony in its study of a well-to-do American family
forced to deal with a challenge to it's comfortable status quo.
CRITICS
CHOICE .. LA Times
"...Joe Olivieri's staging
of four masterful performances is exemplary."
"...slices cleanly but
deeply into the repressions of well-off Northeastern WASPs,
with plenty of funny, often
mordant moments arising naturally from a quartet of sharply drawn
characterizations. "
