Kids' Game: Upper Class Family Drama by Concord Theatricals

The scene unfolds in a lavish summer home of a prosperous 'WASP' family on a New England coastal resort island. Present are a charming middle-aged widow, her divorced daughter, and her prep school teacher son with his wife. Their peaceful routine is disrupted by two unsettling events: the mother's revelation of her intent to marry an old family friend (which means the house will then belong to her children); and the sudden arrival of her younger son and his family. 'Pokey', the younger son, has always been at odds with the rest of the family, and though he remains a mysterious figure throughout, it becomes clear that he opposes his mother's remarriage and his siblings' plans for the house, and he has the means to prevent them. As the others retaliate against Pokey, long-repressed feelings surface, forcing them to confront the emptiness of their own lives, often with humor. Ultimately, their resistance fades, and they accept things as they are, likely to remain unchanged until societal norms truly shift.
