The inevitability of change and how that’s perceived by different generations is the central theme of N.C. Hunter’s 1951 play “A Picture of Autumn.” The Mint Theater Company is now streaming a live recording of its 2013 production of this work.

The story takes place at Wilton Manor, a secluded English country estate. Home to the Denham family since 1762, the lack of the proper funds has caused the house and surrounding grounds and outbuildings to fall into disrepair. In fact, the driveway of the manor house has become so overgrown that it will soon be impassable to cars.
