This delightful memory play recalls the last gathering of the Hines family at their retreat in the Poconos. It's the summer of 1953, and a time of animated romantic entanglements that overlap all on one afternoon. With the arrival of each character, audiences experience both comic hilarity and heartbreaking honesty.
