Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents Close Ties

The scene is a country home in the Berkshire Mountains of New England, where three generations of the Whitaker/Frye family have gathered for the summer. Josephine Whitaker, the matriarch of the family, still bustles about energetically, tending her garden and issuing orders to the others, even though she has long since given the house to her middle-aged daughter, Bess Frye, and her husband, Watson. Also present at the summer gathering are the Frye children, three daughters and a teenaged son, and Ira Bienstock, the unlikely lover of one of the Frye daughters. While concerned with the tensions and good-natured bickering that arise from such closeness, the ultimate focus of the play is on Josephine, who is edging into senility and, in the family’s view, must no longer be allowed to live alone. It is the resolution of this problem that provides the very believable—and deeply moving—conclusion of this most human and genuinely affecting play.
