The Twilight of the Golds is a play by Jonathan Tolins and produced by Charles H. Duggan that premiered at the Pasadena Playhouse on January 17, 1993.
[1] Tolins adapted his play for a television movie, The Twilight of the Golds, with a "completely different ending".
[2] The controversial dramedy tackles the issue of fictional genetic testing that would determine the sexual orientation of an unborn child.
In the stage version, she has the abortion late in the pregnancy, resulting in her inability to bear any more children, as well as David's estrangement from the family.
In the film version, Suzanne chooses to have the baby, though this leads to a break-up with her husband, who does not wish to raise a gay son.
