The Story:
Ethel and Norman Thayer, return to their summer home on Golden Pond for the 48th year. When their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé visit, they leave their teenage son behind while they run off to Europe for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple had always longed for. And while Norman teaches him to fish, he also learns a thing or two about modern teenagers. The Characters:
Norman Thayer: Nearing his eightieth birthday, Norman is flirting with senility and is aware of it enough to use it to his advantage, usually in a humorous way. He is a curmudgeon, as he feels his age entitles him to be. He is very much in love with Ethel, his wife, but doesn’t quite know what to do about their daughter, Chelsea. Ethal Thayer: Ten years younger than Norman, Ethel is a spritely, active woman who loves her husband completely and who is in love with simply being alive. She is caregiver, sweetheart, and friend to Norman. Chelsea Thayer Wayne: Attractive, divorced, and in her forties, Chelsea is still dealing with the lack of closeness between her and Norman. She is engaged to Bill Ray, whom she brings to meet her parents. Billy Ray: Chelsea’s fiancé and Billy’s father, Bill is definitely not the outdoors type. He is trying his best to make a good impression on Norman and Ethel. Billy Ray Jr: The teenage son of Bill Ray, he is a typical California teenager who comes to spend a month with Norman and Ethel on Golden Pond while his father and Chelsea are in Europe. Charlie Martin: The local delivery-by-boat mailman, Charlie is a long-time family friend and a typical Maine down-Easterner. Still single, he has had a life-long crush on Chelsea. Telephone Operator: Telephone Operator that has a brief conversation with Norman at the top of the show. |
