Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Has anyone done the play "Holiday"? And if you haven't done it, do


Question:It's about a wealthy family with a lot of problems. There are three children - Ned is an alcoholic (money kept him from becoming a composer, as he let his father manipulate him), the older daughter Linda is a free thinker so she is the black sheep and the younger daughter Julia is shallow but socially acceptable. The father is a domineering and cold man. Julia becomes engaged to a guy named Johnny, and Linda falls in love with him. They're actually much more alike, but Linda loves her sister and wouldn't do anything to hurt her. Meanwhile, everyone but Linda is encouraging him to settle down and go into business, but what he really wants to do is make enough money so he can go on "holiday" while he's still young enough to enjoy it. Julia and daddy don't approve. Meanwhile, Johnny is attracted to Linda.
