Waiting for the Parade OFF PLAZA EVENT (Not Regular Season Show)

Through the interaction of these five women, Murrell paints a portrait of a "good war" as lived on the sidelines. There is plenty of laughter herethe sensitive Eve's infatuation with Leslie Howard (and her sudden fascination with aviation following his fatal plane crash), Catherine's wisecracking humor, Janet's ludicrous den-mothering as she prods the other women through an air-raid drill. But there is also trouble: Marta's aged father is arrested as a Nazi sympathizer and put in a provincial prison camp; Margaret's younger son is also imprisoned, for passing out "communist antiwar propaganda." (Praised by Eve for the bravery of both her sons, the soldier and the pacifist, Margaret says with quiet desperation: "I don't know about that.") And there are more ambiguous emotions, too: Eve's inability to comprehend the vicarious war lust of her middle-aged husband and her adolescent schoolboys, Catherine's affair with a munitions workera bittersweet sublimation for the longing she feels for the husband she may never see again.
