This delightful Broadway hit, a Tony-nominated play by the late Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of The Heidi Chronicles, follows three Jewish sisters from Brooklyn as they gather in London to celebrate the fifty-fourth birthday of Sara, the eldest, now a brilliant British banker. Divorced, a single mother, Sara no longer sees the necessity for romance. But Sara meets Merv and finds that even at fifty-four there are possibilities! An exuberant, heart-warming, contemporary comedy by one of America’s best playwrights.
Admirers of Wendy Wasserstein will be relieved to know that she is as romantic as ever, and that her head is in the right place, too, while her tongue remains safely in her cheek…Superb.
The New Yorker
A captivating look at three uncommon women and their quest for love, self-definition, and fulfillment. Wendy Wasserstein is, as always, the most astute of commentators.
