Forty Carats
by Jay Presson Allen
Synopsis
By Jay Allen, adapted from Pierre Barillet and Jean Pierre Gredy.
Full Length, Comedy. 5 m, 6 f. 3 ints.
Julie Harris made a Tony-winning hit on Broadway starring in this comedy as Ann Stanley, a 40 year-old divorcee whose car breaks down while vacationing in Greece.
Rescued by and then introduced to the romance of the island by a young man of 22, Anne is taken on a whirlwind tour.
Back in New York, she returns to problems with her real estate business, her mother, her 17 year-old daughter Trina and ex-husbands while fending off the advances of a middle-aged client.
One evening a young man arrives to escort her daughter and turns out to be the youth from Greece.
Not only is the attraction between them still strong, but the amorous client then falls for Trina!
