Adapted by David Auburn
From the original play by Langdon Mitchell
Directed by Mark Brokaw
Lucille Lortel Theater
January 7 – June 24, 2012
In this sharp-tongued comedy, David Auburn enlivens and enriches a little-known play from a century ago, and shines a surprisingly contemporary light on social mores, status, and attitudes about sex and divorce in high society.
Cynthia Karslake is a freewheeling divorcee in 1906 New York City society. She has decided to settle down again into a much more stable, reliable relation- ship with a prominent Judge Philip Phillimore. Little does she know, however, that neither of their bombastic and blowsy ex-spouses, nor her beloved race horse Cynthia K, is yet down for the count.
