THE STORY: Divided into eight scenes, which span their years at Martin Van Buren High School, the play chronicles the coming of age of two teenaged couples during the turbulent sixties. The language is frank, but unfailingly funny, as the four struggle with impending adulthood and their awakening sexuality. The action ranges from summer camp, to dormitory bedrooms, to senior prom, with the popular music of the period-Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Beach Boys-ever present as a telling counterpoint to, and emotional anchor for, the lives of its young foursome. As the years spin deftly by it is also apparent that maturity will bring differing perils and problems for each of them, although all will continue to recall the special excitement-and poignancy-of these last few carefree years together.David Rimmer is the author of 'Album.', published 1981 under ISBN 9780822200130 and ISBN 0822200139.
