The Graduate

Benjamin Braddock is a recent college graduate trying to find something to care about in his life when he begins to have an affair with Mrs. Robinson, the seductive wife of his father’s best friend. The affair takes an interesting turn when Benjamin meets and falls for Mrs. Robinson’s daughter, Elaine. The new twist pits Benjamin against Mrs. Robinson, who still stop at nothing from preventing him from ending up with Elaine. This play, by Terry Johnson and adapted from the novel by Charles Webb and the screenplay by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham, is a dark comedy that satirizes everything from love and relationships to family life in a unique and often hilarious way.
