Episode 14 - Picnic by William Inge
Have you ever felt stuck in your life but didn't quite know how to get unstuck? This is the nagging reality for every character in William Inge's Picnic. Set in a small Kansas town in the early 1950s, handsome drifter Hal Carter arrives looking for his former college roommate Alan Seymour, hoping Alan's wealthy father will give him a job. Relentlessly searching for his own place in the world, Hal unwittingly stirs each character's need to be seen and valued--especially Alan's beautiful and restless girlfriend, Madge Owens. Topics include: female oppression, class disparity, sexual awakening, and evolving gender roles.
Produced by Vast Improvement Productions.
Hosted by Nathan Inzerillo and Nikki Jacobs.
