This summer, relive the fireworks of first-time love!
On July 4, fireworks aren’t the only flames burning for 16-year-old Richard Miller—whose passion for poetry is rivaled only by affection for Muriel, the girl of his dreams. When her father forbids the young couple from dating, Richard embarks on an evening of unexpected rebellion. Eugene O’Neill’s “warm-hearted, welcome dose of love and laughter” (Los Angeles Times) delightfully captures the bliss, adventure and angst of young romance.
Recommended for ages 12 and up.
