One cottage, two people, fifty years. Every year since they were married, Glen and Sandy Golden have been celebrating their wedding anniversary by coming to the same cottage on the lake for an annual weekend of quiet romance. And this year marks a major milestone: fifty years of wedded bliss. Well, mostly bliss… One week ago, Sandy cancelled their big anniversary party and kicked Glen to the curb. And now, he wants to talk. Set over the course of one evening, as well as the past fifty years, Glen and Sandy recount the good, the bad, and the ugly of spending half a century together. As the reason for their recent split is revealed, the evening takes on a new depth and meaning. The Golden Anniversaries is a comedy-drama about marriage, memory, and a long-term love for the ages.
