S.E. Hinton's powerful compassionate book about young people is the source of this play, as it was for the film version which has become a modern classsic. This entirely practical stage adaptation deals with real people, seen through the eyes of Ponyboy, a young "Greaser" caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids - the "Socs" - and his tough underprivileged "Greaser" family and friends. In the midst of urban warfare, Ponyboy can't forget a Robert Frost poem which speaks to their fragile young lives, saying "Nothing gold can stay." This is a play about young people who are not yet hopeless, about latent decency in the midst of struggle, about not losing touch with the residual slivers of gold within us all. - The Dramatic Publishing Company
