Description
A play in four acts centers on a household in Bridgetown, where Martha, Jayson, and Sheffield argue over a woman's place and work. Talk of law as a career, of small-town air, and of catty remarks shows a family testing new ideas against old habits.
Martha presses for a life beyond the home, while the men around her answer with teasing, concern, and pride. The play moves through drawing-room debate toward a hard choice about marriage and freedom. Readers who like serious domestic drama will find a thoughtful, plain-spoken work about a woman asking for more room in her own life.
