Wasserstein's feminist anthem to the difficulties of accomplished women. A group of women meet at a restaurant to review their Mt. Holyoke days and their present lives. When Mt. Holyoke (read: privileged) women have this much trouble, just imagine the troubles of those who didn't manage to attend a seven-sisters school! ( )

I couldn't really identify with this -- my college years were far different. Interesting characters, but nothing special. ( )

The best of the three Wasserstein plays in the collection I've been reading: the exploration of family relationships gives you a better sense of how anyone can possibly be like the absurd people in these stories, and some sympathy for all the faking and hiding and yearning they do. And the love relationships get closer to a real investigation of class privilege than anything else Wasserstein's given us. "Only rich kids know what upper middle class is." ( )
