Using the art history "hook" into the question of women and their role-as they see their roles, as men see women's roles, and as women search for happiness within these roles-Wendy Wasserstein has written a thoughtful and very funny drama about the Baby Boom generation and the price its women have paid as they have searched for fulfillment. Wasserstein takes us from Heidi's high school and college days, as she grows in her thinking and view of her role in life, to her experiences with women's lib focus groups, the Eugene McCarthy campaign, the rise of AIDS, the gay movement, and ultimately Heidi's realization of what is important to her, not just professionally and philosophically, but personally and emotionally. The play offers insights into significant social issues, gracefully presented so that they do not alienate the audience. Reservations highly recommended: $12.00 or Elon ID. Reservations will be taken beginning January 12, 2006, by calling (336) 278-5650. * |
