The Long Christmas Dinner: Thornton Wilder: 9780573662836: Amazon.com: Books

Book Description:

1996
The action of this play traverses ninety years and represents in accelerated motion ninety Christmas dinners in the Bayard home. The development of the countryside, the changes in customs and manners during this period of time as well as the growth of the Bayard family and their accumulation of property sums up vividly a wide aspect of American life. It is a serious play lightened with humor of character; it has a human, tender, moving quality both appealing and forceful. For advanced amateurs. In a revised acting version prepared by Alexander Dean. Performed in New York with Pullman Car Hiawatha and The Happy Journey from Trenton to Camden. "Like a surprise holiday gift . . . [these plays] shine like gems."-- N.Y. Times.
