“Holiday” season just beginning for Wellesley Summer Theatre

January 3, 2013 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Holiday photo from Wellesley Summer Theatre CompanyFrom Wellesley Summer Theatre Co. regarding its upcoming play “Holiday” (by Philip Barry), which starts next week at Ruth Nagel Jones Theatre in Alumnae Hall on the Wellesley College campus and runs into early February:

Set right before the onset of the Great Depression, “Holiday” tells the story of one man’s undying ambition to live life on his own terms. Ambitious Johnny Case believes he’s met the girl of his upwardly mobile dreams when he falls for Julia, and pledges to marry her, over her father’s strenuous objections. With one more big deal to set him up for life, it’s all falling into place for him. But it’s Julia’s sister, Linda, who turns out to be Johnny’s kindred soul in this upper-class comedy of manners.

But Johnny is driven by a desire to “save” part of his life for himself. He questions whether it is worth living a life without adventure? Is money the answer to everything? These questions continue to plague the American consciousness, especially today in the wake of our economic recession.
