Plays & playscripts

The graduating seniors of a Seven Sisters college, trying to decide whether to pattern

themselves after Katharine Hepburn or Emily Dickinson. Two young women besieged by

the demands of mothers, lovers, and careers-not to mention a highly persistent telephone

answering machine-as they struggle to have it all. A brilliant feminist art historian

trying to keep her bearings and her sense of humor on the elevator ride from the

radical sixties to the heartless eighties. Wendy Wasserstein's characters are so

funny, so many-sided, and so real that we seem to know them from their Scene One

entrances, though the places they go are invariably surprising. And these three plays-Uncommon

Women and Others, Isn't It Romantic, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles-manage

to engage us heart, mind, and soul on such a deep and lasting level that they are

already recognized as classics of the modern theater.
