A Day by the Sea - N. C. Hunter

"A DAY BY THE SEA is a warm, human and often humorous depiction of the “crisis” of middle age. Julian Anson, a once-promising Foreign Service employee, confronts professional disappointment and personal failure while picnicking along the English seaside. Jolted into the realization that maybe it’s not too late—he seizes an opportunity to correct his past mistakes and start fresh—but will the results be any different?"

“A FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE, ACTED BY THE BEST ENSEMBLE CAST I’VE SEEN IN RECENT SEASONS.” – TERRY TEACHOUT, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

"A DAY BY THE SEA opened on the West End in 1953 and ran for 386 performances in a production that starred Dame Sybil Thorndike, Irene Worth, Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson. In New York, the play opened in 1955 with Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn headlining the cast; Hunter’s only Broadway production.

A DAY BY THE SEA is a New York Times Critic’s Pick. “There’s so much to like about the Mint Theater Company’s revisiting of A DAY BY THE SEA that it’s hard to know what to single out,” wrote Neil Genzlinger, calling the play “a beautiful study in conversations never had, or had too late.”
