"It happened that green and crazy summer when Frankie was twelve years old." Thus opens Carson McCuller's insightful novel, The Member of the Wedding.
Richmonders can catch the onstage version of The Member of the Wedding at Barksdale through October 28. Frankie Addams, a precocious tomboy in a small southern town, yearns to grow up, and she fantasizes elaborate plans for her part in her brother’s upcoming wedding. Awarded the New York Drama Critics' Prize for the Best American Play of 1950 when it premiered on Broadway, The Member of the Wedding is part of Barksdale’s Women’s Theatre Project, as we celebrate the moving work of famed novelist and playwright Carson McCullers.
