judith guest's ordinary people

by Nancy Gilsenan

Judith Guest's book is now a play: Conrad Jarrett had an older brother named Buck, and now Buck is gone. What's left of young Conrad's family, with his successful, well-intentioned father and his beautiful, organized and remote mother, is in terrible jeopardy, as is Conrad himself. They are all "ordinary people" and each is fighting a hard battle. This play goes to the essence of a young man, his friends and family, their relationships and survival. We consider this full-length play to be an extraordinary opportunity for your cast and your audience. The film version of this book, directed by Robert Redford, won four Academy Awards.
