The play description: “Wendy Wasserstein’s acclaimed debut, Uncommon Women and Others, rings with uncommon truth and insight into common human foibles. That’s what makes it so universally appealing, even if its characters aren’t always easy to like. Framed by a present-day luncheon among old friends, the autobiographical play flashes back to 1971, their senior year at Mount Holyoke College, where young women are groomed for ‘Gracious Living’ and high expectations.”
Questions should be directed to Ahrens at ahrenstt or (610) 438-4452.
