Family Furniture
by Ar. Gurney

Amid the gin and tonics, vichyssoise, and tennis doubles of Buffalo's summer scene, siblings Nick and Peggy must confront their mother's possible infidelity, their father's apparent indifference, and their own increasingly complicated love lives.

FAMILY FURNITURE is a coming-of-age tale of one certain summer when everything shifts.

The cast requires two males and three females.

The set allows for flexible staging in which the settings are defined primarily by appropriate lighting and furniture consisting simply of wooden stools and rectangular benches, which the actors arrange to create their own playing areas.

Short segments of songs and instrumental arrangements of music popular in the early fifties indicate the change of scenes.

This 58 page DPS acting edition also has stage directions, prop list, and sound effects used in the original Off-Broadway production.
