Susan Sarandon, Rue McClanahan and Frances Sternhagen star in this adaptation of Lanford Wilson's play, set in a ghostly town on the verge of disappearing, a place where the only movie house closed eight years ago. The plot revolves around the sexual assault of a teenage girl and an unrelated murder trial in the town of Eldritch, exploring a community's reaction to rape, lies and murder. Wilson's innovative use of overlapping dialogue makes the interrelations of the people the real focus of the play.

The play deals with ramifications within the family when two of four sisters - played by Estelle Parsons, Elizabeth Franz, Frances Sternhagen, and Piper Laurie - begin questioning their lives and decide to change a few things before it’s too late. That’s a simple enough premise, but all Osborn needed some sixty years ago to craft the most charming play of the current Broadway season.
