On Golden Pond

This is the love story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who are returning to their summer home on Golden Pond for the forty-eighth year. He is a retired professor, nearing eighty, with heart palpitations and a failing memory—but still as tart-tongued, observant and eager for life as ever.

Themes of mortality, family relationships, marriage, and generations all play out at Norman and Ethel Thayer’s small lake house in Maine beside Golden Pond. Ernest Thompson’s On Golden Pond has been embraced by theatergoers since its first off-Broadway run in 1978 and by moviegoers since its 1981 adaptation.
