Over Twenty-One
by Ruth Gordon

THE STORY: Polly Wharton, sophisticated and successful writer, and her husband, Max, live in a small bungalow next to a flying field in Florida.

Max is a brilliant journalist, but is having difficulty in getting through his army studies.

Since he is over the age considered best for soldiers, he is discouraged.

But Polly helps him pass his tests.

This is the mere undercurrent of a play which is told in terms of high comedy involving among other things the attempt on the part of Max's boss to get him out of the Air Force and back to work.

A good part of the plot has to do with the comic efforts of the Whartons to get Max transferred to a pleasant camp where Polly can be near her husband.

But due to a misunderstanding Max is sent to what is considered as the least desirable of all camps.

But Polly goes through with it and at the very end, in spite of everything, she follows Max.
