The Trading Post
Author(s):
Larry Ketron
The place is a secondhand shop in rural Tennessee, the time the recent past. Wallace, the middle-aged owner of the shop, is about to bid a reluctant farewell to his long-time lady friend, Claudia, who is going off to Canada to care for her ailing sister. Both Wallace and Claudia have been previously married and while everyone in town (including their own children) is aware that they are a perfect match, Wallace, particularly, seems unable to articulate his true feelings. Counterpointing the relationship of these reluctant lovers is the affair between Wallace's son and Claudia's daughter--a much lustier arrangement, but, in its own way, marked with equal indecisiveness. The interplay of these four very believable and endearing people, abetted by the hilarious woes of a recently widowed friend, leads on to the cleverly devised resolution of the play--where things are set right in a most unexpected and theatrically inventive manner.
