Her Own Way

At Philip Carley’s birthday party, the children decide Aunt Georgiana is “nearly thirty”—and apparently much too old to have beaux.

In the Carley nursery, cake, ice cream and childish gossip make a bright, noisy afternoon.

In Clyde Fitch’s four-act comedy-drama, affection and duty pull against a woman’s wish to choose her own course. How much can Georgiana give to the people she loves—and still make a life of her own?
