This play is absolute sheer delight. I adore O'Grady's passion for historical moments--she brings them to life with such color, honesty, and vividness. Edith Wharton is phenomenal--a dream role for an older actress--and it's such a delight to see the smarty F. Scott Fitzgerald get put in his place. A tremendous ten-minute play that does the genre right. O'Grady writes with a deft hand, precision, and poetic grace--and she's also dryly funny at that. Well done. I have a feeling Edith Wharton would love this play (maybe not Fitzgerald though).
