All the Way Home is a 1960 play by Tad Mosel. An adaptation of James Agee's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1957 novel A Death in the Family, the play itself won a Pulitzer for Drama in 1961.Jay and Mary Follett are a married couple in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1915. Jay works as a lawyer for his father-in-law, Joel Lynch. The Folletts have a six-year-old son, Rufus, who is a quiet and sensitive child. Mary has just learned that she is pregnant again, and worries about how to tell Rufus, as that discussion may require The Talk.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The action opens with the arrival of Jay's abrasive, alcoholic brother Ralph, an undertaker, along with the rest of the Folletts: Ralph's wife Sally and son Jim Wilson, and Ralph and Jay's parents, John Henry and Jessie. The whole family goes off to visit 104-year-old Great-Great-Grandmaw, bringing together five generations of Folletts. Jay and Mary go back home and have a talk about life and the distance between people. Then Jay gets a panicked call from Ralph about their father having a medical emergency. Eventually, tragedy strikes.Lillian Gish appeared in the original cast as Mary's mother Catherine. A 1963 film adaptation starred Jean Simmons as Mary and Robert Preston as Jay, while a 1971 Hallmark Hall of Fame television version starred Joanne Woodward as Mary and Richard Kiley as Jay. Pat Hingle played Ralph in both the 1963 and 1971 adaptations. A 1981 stage production was broadcast live on NBC; Sally Field starred as Mary, with William Hurt as Jay and Ned Beatty as Ralph.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ear Trumpet | |
| All the Way Home (Theatre) / int_62700738 | comment |
Ear Trumpet: Mary's mostly deaf mother Catherine wears one. Catherine's mishearing things and people having to shout into the ear trumpet are a running gag. | |

The Alcoholic | |

The Alcoholic: Ralph arrives at Jay and Mary's house drunk and belligerent, swigging from a flask hidden in his coat. Jay apparently had a drinking problem in his past that he quit by Going Cold Turkey. | |

Censorship by Spelling | |
| All the Way Home (Theatre) / int_8792383c | comment |
Censorship by Spelling: The conservative Mary worries about how to explain to Rufus that she is pregnant. She tells her husband, "Jay, I don't want him asking any q-u-e-s-t-i-o-n-s." Jay laughs and says that won't work as Rufus can spell better than they can. | |

Dissonant Laughter | |
| All the Way Home (Theatre) / int_b98b60fe | comment |
Dissonant Laughter: Mary is sobbing and drinking whiskey when Catherine says, "Mother said in times of stress the best thing to drink was buttermilk." Everyone else dissolves in hysterical cackling laughter. | |
