THE
SUBJECT WAS ROSES
A
Play by Frank D. Gilroy
Premiere on 25 February, 2010 - Final Performance on 17 April, 2010
It
is the Bronx, 1946. Twenty-one-year-old Timmy returns home after
serving three years in the army during World War II. His
Irish-Catholic parents celebrate his homecoming with song, dance and
booze. But Timmy soon finds himself caught in the crossfire between
mother and father, who compete for his affections while trying to
mask the tensions in their marriage. To keep the peace between the
parents, Timmy buys roses for his mom and tells her they are from his
dad. When the lie is revealed, old resentments rise to the surface.
Finally, both mother and father must face the choice of clinging
to their child or recognizing the man he has become.
Winner
of both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play
in 1965, THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES was an instant success with both
audiences and critics, running for 832 performances on Broadway.
