Seven funny and often poignant scenes provide a fast moving comedy about women's friendships. It begins with twelve year old girls separated by puberty and ends with octogenarian socialists plotting their escape from a convalescent home. Also included are bosom buddies in their mid thirties confronting the biological clock, a woman in her late forties exploring the impact of her closest friendships over more than two decades, and a jilted wife's discovery that she misses her husband less than the best friend he abandoned her for. Two historical scenes involve a little known incident in the friendship of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas and two turn of the century Philadelphia ladies who risk adventure in the wild west. This play is replete with lively monologue and scene material, and it can be staged very simply.
