The story follows the Miller family, particularly their teenage son Richard, as they navigate love, family dynamics, and the struggles of growing up.Richard is a romantic and idealistic young man who dreams of becoming a poet and falls in love with a girl named Muriel. His parents, Nat and Essie, worry about his future and try to guide him towards a more practical path. Meanwhile, Richard's older brother Arthur is a wild and rebellious college student who returns home drunk and causes chaos.Throughout the play, the characters grapple with their own desires and expectations, as well as the social norms and expectations of their time. The Fourth of July celebrations provide a backdrop for the drama, as the characters contemplate their own independence and what it means to be free.Ah, Wilderness is a nostalgic and sentimental play that explores themes of love, family, and the passage of time.
