About This Item

Final Draft script for the 1983 play, which opened on November 11, 1982 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre for a run of 213 performances, closing on May 15, 1983, starring Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, and Keith Carradine. Laid in is a letter written by Cronyn to Christian Science Monitor journalist Arthur Unger expressing gratitude for an enthusiastic review of the television movie adapted from the play, signed in manuscript marker by Cronyn.

Aging widow Annie Nations faces the choice of selling off her farm to a developer and moving in with her son and his daughters or spending her final days on the farm she's known all her life. Remade as a CBS television movie which aired on December 13, 1987, starring Tandy, Cronyn, and John Denver (replacing Carradine from the play)

Set in Rabun Gap, Georgia and adjacent Appalachia areas in North and South Carolina.
