Out on the Outskirts of Town is a TV play by William Inge starring Anne Bancroft. It was Inge's last script for television.
It was based on an unproduced play by Inge from the 1950s "Off the Main Road".[1]
"It was quite an experience,” Inge recalled . “If a scene was muffed for some reason, there was no time for retakes. The scene was just dropped... character development is incomplete and the whole story structure is brutalized.”[2]
A woman, her mother, and her daughter check into a run-down resort to hide from her abusive husband, a washed-up professional baseball player.
