Christmas Eve in High Point, 1958. George takes his new bride to meet friend and fellow soldier, Ralph Bates, for the holiday celebrations. As snow settles outside, the idyllic Christmas scene begins to dissolve. While past hopes and dreams are recounted, the bittersweet reality of their marital relationships surface with comical and poignant results.
In The Press
- “Williams only comedy and rarely produced. Based on SF Playhouse’s current revival, this is a minor tragedy.”-TheatreStorm
- “A holiday gift” -SF Chronicle
- “Period of Adjustment is a sexually subversive work that celebrates heterosexuality in a very queer way.”-Bay Area Reporter
- “[Bill English’s] deft direction, along with his extraordinary cast and skilled creative team, coalesce to make this an exemplary presentation of a lesser-known work by one of America’s preeminent 20th century dramatists. It&rsquo a must-see!”-Stark Insider
