That Dorothy Parker

That Dorothy Parker, 85 minute one act, is a one-woman biographical drama about the life and work of the famous writer Dorothy Parker. A memory play, That Dorothy Parker weaves together hilarious anecdotes of the ten years she spent lunching at New York’s famed Algonquin Round Table, her relationship with Hemingway and scores of other men, her involvement in the Spanish Civil war, and selections of her writing.

The story takes place on January 24, 1943, the day after the death of her dear friend Alexander Woollcott. Dorothy comes to the lobby of the Algonquin Hotel to mourn his passing, and in doing so she encounters a group of gawkers (the audience) and begins to reminisce about her life.

Cost: $35.00
