THE GRADUATE (The Play)

The Chatham Community Players will kick off their 88^th Season by presenting THE GRADUATE, based on the movie adapted by Terry Johnson adapted from the novel by Charles Webb.  It's the summer of 1965, golden boy and very recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock returns home to the lap of California luxury with a serious case of the now-what-do-I-do-with-my-life blues. Benjamin needs to "find himself" -- but finds himself becoming, instead, a bedtime boy-toy for the ruthless Mrs. Robinson. It's an affair that gives riotous and racy new meaning to May-December romance -- until Benjamin meets Elaine. Smart, pretty, 20 year-old Elaine, Ben's soul-mate, Ben's Juliet, Ben's dream come true -- and Mrs. Robinson's daughter.
