Editorial Reviews
Review
“ As unyielding and coruscating a portrait of women before feminism that I have ever seen.”
—Honor Moore in The New York Times, on the 2005 off Broadway revival
Product Description
The blackly comic play about the oppressed lives of women in 1950s New York
One of Literature ’s leading humorists, Dorothy Parker drew from the dark side of her imagination to pen The Ladies of the Corridor, a searing drama about women living on their own in a New York residence hotel. Loosely based on Parker’s life, and co-written with famed Hollywood playwright Arnaud d’Usseau, The Ladies of the Corridor exposes the limitations of a woman’s life in a drama teeming with Parker’s signature wit.
