Sinopsis

I have always loved the story in Henry JamesâÇÖ novel,áWashington Square, and I needed to find something for a young Hispanic actress I wanted to work with, so with Ron BashfordâÇÖs help, we adapted the story. As we worked on it, we found that it fit really well in the early Sixties, on the verge of the huge social revolution. This time period also made sense because the female lead was trapped in the Fifties by her conservative mother, a successful woman who was ashamed of having a half-Hispanic child. Sometimes, when youâÇÖre working on a play, things fall in place-the backstory for our play (I say 'our' because Ron Bashford was such a close collaborator) arose effortlessly out of the story we were presenting. As the last scene takes place, the young Hispanic daughter hears the beginning of a Sixties protest and leaves the house to join them.Constance Congdon
