Choose options
The sensitive 1954 Broadway drama 'All Summer Long' by celebrated playwright Robert Anderson served as the immediate follow-up to his masterpiece Tea and Sympathy. Opening at the Coronet Theatre under the precise direction of avant-garde pioneer Alan Schneider, the delicate, allegorical plot unfolds over a single sweltering summer on a rural riverbank, tracking two young brothers—one a sensitive boy, the other his crippled, bitter older mentor—as they attempt to build a makeshift retaining wall to save their family's home from a slowly eroding riverbank, mirroring the psychological erosion of their parents' fragile marriage, starring John Kerr, Clay Hall, and Ed Begley.
