About This Book

A circle of students stages a benefit evening to help disadvantaged peers, assembling a crowd-pleasing play, songs and dances that expose social frictions and language anxieties between performers and townspeople. Rehearsals compel cooperation, spark debates about who may appear onstage and how language should be used, and awaken affectionate tensions and personal insecurities among the young. A public performance transforms private feeling into shared enthusiasm, and the subsequent riverside celebration blends youthful camaraderie with the landscape. The account closes as the impassioned young speaker prepares to leave for the capital to pursue legal studies accompanied by his mother.
