| I saw it on Broadway and the carry-over from the first act to the second confused. Had the gitl been molested by somebody or grievously jilted? Right now I can’t remember what was supposed to have so unhinged her. Her parebts opposed a marriage? It’s not just that I don’t remember; it’s that I clearly remember not being able to grasp whst the script was driving at. And, by the way, the big Edie of Ebersole in Act I bore no resemblance to Big Edie in Act II. None. If the producers were looking for visual similarities between characters, they blew it there. |

| I think it was pretty clear that the major trauma in Little Edie's life was that she thought she was going to marry Joe Kennedy but then it didn't happen. That plus family trauma, including a highly dysfunctional relationship with her mother. Honestly, I'm surprised you missed all of that. | |

| And, of course, the non-arrival of the father, who has taken his affections and his money elsewhere. The mother and daughter suddenly drop in economic status but remain stuck in the house, by the financial as well as emotional devastation. | |

| No. Thanks. Thanks. I just couldn’t really recall it all and remember I hadn’t been able to sort it out at the time I saw the show. Did she lose her virginity to the Kennedy boy? Sorry. It just seemed a lot that was packed in there, especially if it was meant to track into act two. | |
