GREY GARDENS
 


Grey Gardens brings to life both the delightfully eccentric aunt and the cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, these two women became East Hamton's most notorious recluses, living in a dilapidated 28-room mansion. Set in two eras- in 1941 when the estate was in its prime and in 1973 when it was reduced to squalor - the musical tells the alternately hilarious and heartbreaking story of two indomitable women, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult duaghter "Little" Edie.
