Somewhere Fun Jenny Schwartz

Marc Notes: In Jenny Schwartz's linguistic feast of a play, Rosemary and Evelyn met 'a hundred thousand years ago' in Central Park when their children were barely born. [This play] reunites the two women thirty-five years later on Madison Avenue, on a windy fall day. With their children now grown and the world changing rapidly before (what's left of) their eyes, each finds herself face to face with the terrors, joys, and surprises of life and time. This is a wildly original story about connection-- to our families, our memories, our moment in time--Page 4 of cover.
