Thus, few were aware of the play, and fewer bought tickets. It lasted only 36 performances, from January 31, 1963, to March 2, 1963.

The play centers on a single mother, Chicago department store buyer Sue Barker (<a href="/wiki/Kim_Stanley" title="Kim Stanley">Kim Stanley</a>). While troubled teen Donnie (Gregory Rozakis), Sue's illegitimate son, has been away at reform school, she has entered into a relationship with Cadillac salesman Bernie Slovenk (<a href="/wiki/Harry_Guardino" title="Harry Guardino">Harry Guardino</a>). With Donnie's unexpected return to her Chicago apartment, conflicts escalate, and Donnie finds himself on an emotional precipice. The closing five minutes of the play introduces a new character, a young woman Donnie meets in the apartment hallway. He invites her into the apartment and, without warning, kills her as the curtains close.

A couple of years after <i>Picnic</i> had closed on Broadway, after the film version had made its success, I got the early version out of my files and began to rework it, just for my own satisfaction. <i>Summer Brave</i> is the result. I admit that I prefer it to the version of the play that was produced, but I don't necessarily expect others to agree. <i>Summer Brave</i> might not have enjoyed any success on Broadway whatever, nor won any of the prizes that were bestowed upon <i>Picnic</i>.

The novel received praise from <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>: </p> <dl><dd>Mr. Inge's novel, told in the form of a memoir, is a little more extended than <i>Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff</i> and though there's a slackening of structure and splintering of content towards the second half, the first part is immaculate in both design and focus. It features the early years of Joey, the narrator here, and there are lovely scenes, as clear as the summer sunlight, with his family and on visits to assorted relatives. The time lag between Joey and his older brother Jule—his mother's favorite, my son the splendid driver, and an attractive playboy of this midwestern world—will never be reconciled. Even long after Jule's early death from a wanton incidental. Here Act I breaks away from Act II, a whole psychic anatomy of Joey's years as a young man in compressed and fractured incidents—one replayed from Miss Wyckoff and one which seems unnecessary (his parents' <a href="/wiki/Syphilis" title="Syphilis">syphilis</a>). Thus Joey grows up impaired, never resolving his relationship with his absentee father or insufficiently loving mother, and ends up with his <i>"aloneness like a corridor that has no end"</i>. Inge has told his story of life and death and all those spaces in between with a gentleness and probity which gives his novel a persistence few writers achieve.</dd></dl> <p>During the early 1970s Inge lived in Los Angeles, where he taught playwriting at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_Irvine" title="University of California, Irvine">University of California, Irvine</a>.
