Summary "Blue-grass and Broadway" by Maria Thompson Daviess is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Patricia Adair, an aspiring playwright from Adairville, Kentucky, who sees her dreams of success intertwining with those of Broadway through her play "The Renunciation of Rosalind." As she steps into the bustling world of theater, she navigates both excitement and trepidation as her work is put into the hands of the seasoned producer Godfrey Vandeford, amid a backdrop of adventure and romance. At the start of this captivating tale, we witness Patricia's life dramatically shift as she learns that her play has been sold and will be produced in New York City. The opening scenes introduce us to a variety of colorful characters in the theater world, including Godfrey, a determined producer grappling with his own ambitions and challenges, and his star Violet Hawtry, who seems to both admire and envy Patricia's emerging talent. This dynamic sets the stage for a journey filled with hopes and aspirations, highlighting both the struggles and triumphs that come with chasing one's dreams in a competitive environment. As Patricia prepares to embark on her adventure, the narrative captures her vulnerability, determination, and the support of her family, particularly her brother Roger, reflecting themes of loyalty and ambition.
