Abstract
The paper tackles the representations of old age in the nursing home play in the broad context of US drama of aging as well as from the perspectives of the recent developments in the field of literary gerontology. Tina Howe’s depiction of the institutional care in “Chasing Manet” (2009) reflects ambivalent sides of the stereotypical perception of the place: the one of the suffocating hopeless prison and unexpectedly another one of encouraging home. Inspired by the works of S. de Beauvoir, M. Hepworth, J. King and U. Kriebernegg, the present study of nursing home in “Chasing Manet” identifies the fictional institution as the utopian model. It reverberates some of the implications of the concept of successful aging. The dramatic depiction of nursing home presupposes surreality.
