Talk:On Golden Pond (play)

What's it about?
Current article contains just one line on the play's plot and no discussion at all of themes or meaning. - Mcasey666 23:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, this excellent play/movie needs discussion of the themes, etc. Of course, one "negative" aspect of it (for lack of a better term) is the inevitable loss of Norman and/or Ethel which presumably comes soon after that summer. I mean, they realize at the end that its their last summer there together. This gives a decided melancholy air to the otherwise wonderful story line. One theme might be that "dying is a part of living" or some such - just a suggestion. Engr105th 20:32, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

On Golden Pond
When was On Golden Pond written?


 * I'm uncertain, but I believe the very late 60s or early 70s. I seem to recall it had been around a while before the movie... Engr105th 20:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Ernest Thompson's bio (wikipedia) suggests the play was written cir 1977. He was 28 at the time...Engr105th (talk) 04:14, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
