The Square Root of Wonderful

This play by Carson McCullers starred Anne Baxter in its New York run. As in Member of the Wedding, McCullers brings her unique brand of magic transforming the most mundane situation into a memorable evening of theatre. Here she examines the life of a charming Southern woman, divorced twice from the same man, a tormented intellectual who has made her life miserable. Trying to break free and start anew with a young architect, her way is blocked by his own self-doubts and domineering mother.
