Uncommon Women and Others

Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein?s first play. At a reunion seven years after their graduation from Mount Holyoke College, five former classmates assess whether they have achieved their youthful goals. In a flashback, the women, all part of a group dubbed "uncommon" - because they were expected to be "amazing" before they reached thirty - relive their senior year and examine the influences that shaped them.
