The Middle Ages July 16, 2010

WHO: The Ross Valley Players presents....
WHAT: THE MIDDLE AGES
By A.R. Gurney
A complicated romance is asked to stand the test of time in this bittersweet, romantic and social comedy spanning the decades from WW II to the 70's.
Playwright A.R. Gurney chronicles a relationship in this romantic comedy that begins in the 1940s and continues into the 1970s touching on history and social issues including classism, racism, anti-Semitism, the Korean War, the turbulent 60's, the women's movement and free love.
Set in the trophy room of a men’s club from World War II through the late 1970s, Gurney illustrates the conflict between longstanding traditions and the need for change when Barney, a contemporary descendant of the eccentric and lovable top drawer set, declares his lifelong passion for the wife of his straight arrow younger brother.
