New Hampshire Theatre Project’s all-new series of public play readings begins with Morning’s at Seven by Paul Osborn. The play focuses on four aging sisters living in a small Midwestern town in 1928 when two of them begin to question their lives and decide to make some changes before it’s too late.
Aaronetta and Ida Gibbs have lived next door to each other most of their lives and along with Esther, all of the Gibb sisters are an open book to each. Husbands not included. Into the fray comes Myrtle Brown, perpetually engaged to Ida’s son Homer. But Homer can’t seem to pop the question. Taking matters into her own hands, Myrtle finally gets a proposal by compelling Homer to fly the nest. Sort of. This perennially charming portrait of small town America fifty plus years ago was revived on Broadway in 1980 and in 2002 to critical acclaim.
