Terms of Endearment — Adapted for the Stage by Dan Gordon

by Dan Gordon (Playwright)

Challenges in life and love test the resilience of a mother-daughter relationship in Dan Gordon's adaptation of Terms of Endearment, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry and James L. Brooks's screenplay of the Oscar-winning film.

Though Emma is often exasperated by her highly-opinionated mother, Aurora, they talk every day about their problems, from Aurora finding unexpected love even as she becomes a reluctant grandmother, to Emma's struggle in her troubled marriage. But when they need one another most, will they be able to find courage in each other? This funny and touching story captures the delicate, sometimes fractured bonds between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and lovers, both old and new.

This is the perfect play for a stoic to learn life's emotions. All of them are covered in this two hour crash course. I loved this play through the good times and the bad. Both its poignant moments and its funny ones are excellent.
