The widow of a New Orleans literary genius objects to the statue the city is erecting in his honor. She finds it common and unbecoming. Her deceased husband is sitting on a bench with a pint of whisky in his pocket. Over her mother's objections, the literary lion's daughter attends the unveiling and invites the young sculptor to their home for cocktails after the ceremony. In the three-way battle on a French Quarter balcony, old wounds are re-opened and family nightmares are relived. Jackson Square is a powerful drama for mature audiences about serious social issues, but it is also a story told with warmth, humor and hope. Loosely based on the controversy surrounding the sculpture of William Faulkner on a bench in Oxford, Mississippi's town square.
