Wishing Aces [13] - Hetty

This comedy concerns the emotional problems of married adults, both with their peers and with their children. In spite of a warning, Kitten, a runaway housewife, joins her Tulane professor, Beau, on a train trip through the Louisana swamp. They manage successfully until her son, Bunky, in an effort to punish her, shows up a stowaway on the train. As Kitten and Beau try to find themselves, a hurricane rages and the sadness of their false sophistication reaches them. This is a play about second love, about parents and teens, about blatant decency in the midst of struggle. Kitten and her professor work their way through their disappointments, and the futility of their lives, as a hurricane descends.see less
