PICNIC
PICNIC
PICNIC by William Inge brings to life the heat and tension of a sweltering Labor Day morning in a small Kansas town, where the women of a quiet neighborhood prepare for the annual picnic. Amidst the preparations, watchful mother Flo Owens hopes her beautiful daughter, Madge, will receive a wedding proposal, while younger sister Millie dreams of escaping their small-town life. Good-natured Mrs. Potts enjoys a rare break from caring for her elderly mother, and spinster schoolteacher Rosemary keeps her boyfriend at arm’s length. However, their seemingly tranquil lives are upended when Hal Carter, a muscular and charming drifter arrives unexpectedly.Â
