FIFTH OF JULY
a play by Lansford Wilson The scene is a farmhouse in rural Missouri, which is home to Ken, a legless Vietnam veteran, and his lover, Jed, a horticulturist. They are visited by Ken's sister, June, her teenage daughter and by Gwen and John. All are old friends from college and former activists who agitated for what they hoped would be a better world. The action centers on Gwen's offer to buy the farm, and on Ken's Aunt Sally, who has come to scatter the ashes of her late husband. Their talk is sharp and funny and deeply revealing of lost hopes and dreams and of the bitterness that must be fought back if one is to perceive the good that life can offer.
