‘Would you like me to seduce you, Benjamin. Is that what you’re trying to tell me?’
It’s California in the Sixties and Benjamin is a little worried about his future. He’s got excellent grades, very proud parents and since he helped Mrs Robinson wither zipper, a fine future behind him…
Confused by a materialistic and decadent older-generation, he squanders his Graduation Summer in bed with Mrs Robinson, the wife of his father’s best friend. Meanwhile, he thinks he is falling in love with their soon-to-be-married daughter, Elaine. How he squares this sexual triangle in the blistering heat of the Summer of Love has been the subject of a cult novel, a classic film and now a quintessentially 60’s stage play.
