Lots of theaters (though certainly not enough of them) introduce their audiences to new playwrights, but not many can say they introduce their audiences to "new" playwrights who died 40 years ago. Such are the joys of the Mint Theater Company, which is presenting N.C. Hunter's A Picture of Autumn this summer. Imagine what could have happened to the Crawleys on Downton Abbey if Matthew hadn't intervened and stabilized their finances and you'll understand the sadness and struggles that confront the family in this solidly acted and moving 1951 British drama.
