There’s so much to love about this play. It contains two excellent parts for women, with sharp and funny dialogue. It also offers food for thought. Who knew Henry David Thoreau lugged his laundry from his cabin back to his mother’s house? That he took a restorative nap while his mother and sister washed his clothes. That his sister Sophia was equally intelligent and capable. If I were asked “what is this play about”, I’d say it’s about two women who might have achieved remarkable things if a man had stayed home to do THEIR laundry.
