Description

Quandaries, surprises, intimate revelations — and above all, friendship between women throughout their lives. These seven funny, sometimes poignant episodes begin with two twelve year old girls confronting puberty and end with a pair of feisty socialist octogenarians plotting their escape from a convalescent home.

In other scenes, women listen to the ominous ticking of their biological clocks, a jilted wife discovers that she misses her husband less than the best friend he left her for, a woman struggles with changes in her closest friendships, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas invite the audience to a private tête a tête in their famous salon, and a pair of Philadelphia ladies at the turn of the twentieth century leave their orderly lives for adventure in the wild west. 

This play is replete with strong, lively monologue and scene material, can be staged very simply — and because of it’s flexible structure, may be adjusted to suit particular needs regarding length of performance.
