Uncommon Women And Others

by Wendy Wasserstein

Overview

Comprised of a collage of interrelated scenes, the action begins with a reunion, six years after graduation, of five close friends and classmates at Mount Holyoke College. They compare notes on their activities since leaving school and then, in a series of flashbacks, we see them in their college days and learn of the events, some funny, some touching, some bitingly cynical, that helped to shape them. Each of the group is a distinct individual, and it is their varying reaction to the staid, sheltered and often anachronistic university environment (with its undercurrent of sometimes darker personal desires and conclusions) gives the play its special meaning for today's young women as they go forth into the changing and often disquieting world that awaits them after graduation.

Editorial Reviews

...hilarious, touching, witty, insightful, and a lot of other nice things.

Cue Magazine

...funny, ironic, and affectionate comedy...Miss Wasserstein is an uncommon young woman if ever there was one.

New Yorker

...the real triumph of UNCOMMON WOMEN is that you leave the theatre caring deeply about its characters.
