Harding Lemay     Joslyn Circle, The
Company
Synopsis:

An intellectual comedy about a family of noted American writers and a young midwesterner who marries one of them, twenty years his elder, and who tries to enlist their support in his political activities. The theme is of the destructive narcissism of the creative person as displayed in domestic relationships. Characters: three women in their fifties, a famous novelist, her anthropologist, activist sister, and their noted poet cousin; three men: the novelist's Jewish intellectual husband, the thirty-year-old third husband of the anthropologist, and a homosexual bachelor brother of the poet. The surface of the play is brittle comedy; beneath the surface is a tangle of complex, contradictory relationships haunted by childhood, a dead brother, and famous ancestors.

Harding Lemay     Little Birds Fly, The
Company
Synopsis:

Six grown children return home for their father's funeral to a farmhouse near the Canadian border in New England. During several days, they survey the wreckage they left behind them when they escaped, the boys by running away, the girls by getting married. The Mother, in her late fifties, is insane, the father committed suicide, and the two central figures, a skeptical sophisticated New Yorker and the eldest daughter who married a rich Bostonian Jew, come to terms with their anguished past and move together back into more productive lives. Three other children, including an eighteen-year-old girl, have stayed on the farm; three brothers are laborers.
