Heidi Chronicles and Other Plays

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 careersnot to mention a highly persistent telephone answering machineas 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 sorealthat we seem to know them from their Scene One entrances, though the places they go are invariably surprising. And these three playsUncommon Women and Others,Isn't It Romantic, and the Pulitzer Prize-winningThe HeidiChroniclesmanage 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.Wasserstein, Wendy is the author of 'Heidi Chronicles and Other Plays', published 1991 under ISBN 9780679734994 and ISBN 0679734996.
