On Golden Pond is a timeless, witty comedy that hilariously illustrates the relatable human moments from which life and love are made. Ethel and Norman Thayer return to their summer home for some much-needed rest and relaxation. He is a retired professor with heart palpitations and a failing memory – but still as tart-tongued as ever. Ethel, ten years younger, delights in all the small things that have enriched their long life together. Their summer routine is thrown for a loop when estranged daughter Chelsea visits with her new fiancé and his teenage son Billy in tow, leaving a reluctant Billy behind while they travel to Europe. Turbulent family relationships, the generation gap between young and old, and the difficulties of a long marriage all come to the forefront as they are forced to navigate each other. On Golden Pond is one of the most recognized cinematic and theatre comedies that speaks to all generations of theatregoers.
