←Recommendations of The Great Gaffe

Ms. O'Grady thinks up great plots. This could really happen btween two opposites.Too bad they couldn't have been more mature but Ms. O'Grady makes it clear that there's no meeting of the minds. And that writers are temperamental. I love this literary theme.

I assign The Great Gatsby to my students every other year. They often ask me about the author (and his temperament). I tell them that my research had led me to believe he was gifted but overwhelmed by self-doubt. Exactly the F. Scott this gem of a play depicts. This play reminds us that talent does not guarantee likeability nor does it guarantee camaraderie with other talented people. Loved it!

This is a delightful visit with two legendary writers in their element: revealing their true character. Jennifer O'Grady shares her love of history and her affection for these people in a way that makes you absolutely sure this is a recollection of a true moment.

Much fun, and a deeper dive into two literary characters than it appears.

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).
