Grey Gardens

Book • 2006
The musical 'Grey Gardens' is based on the 1975 documentary of the same name by Albert and David Maysles.

It follows the lives of Edith 'Big Edie' Beale and her daughter Edith 'Little Edie' Beale, relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The first act is a speculative take on their lives when they were younger, while the second act is set in 1973 and closely follows the documentary.

The musical explores their complicated mother-daughter relationship and their decline from social prominence to a life of isolation and poverty.
