Here is the blurb from DPS:
ASLEEP ON THE WIND. The time is ten years before the time of GRACELAND, the place, a small clearing in Bayou Teche, Louisiana, the "special place" that Rootie refers to in the other play. This is where Rootie and her favorite brother, Beau, a handsome, sensitive and restless young man of thirty come to talk in private and to escape her other brothers, two high-spirited hot rodders who seem to delight in pestering their shy, reclusive sister. This time Beau has a double purpose for their meeting: to persuade Rootie to try to stick it out at home and in school and to reach beyond him for companionship; and also to tell her that he has enlisted in the army and has requested service in Vietnam. Inevitably the news comes as a deep shock to Rootie, but it is the way of its telling that makes the play so touching and evocative-and that in the end allows Rootie to accept the fact that her life, for better or worse, will never again be the same.

Cassy,
You might want to take a look at "Asleep On The Wind," by Ellen Byron. It's a companion piece to "Graceland" that takes place about 10 years before where the main character has a conversation with her favorite older brother, Beau.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a challenging exam scene for two of my seniors, preferably something not romantic. They requested a brother-sister scene, and I swear the only play I can think of is Glass Menagerie. Any suggestions? Thanks!
