Synopsis: | This is an original theatrical work adapted from the short stories and poetry of Dorothy Parker. A biting collage of couples and quips, Against Her Better Judgment lays bare a shameless self-portrait of the modern woman in love. Parker's acid wit and melancholy bring to the stage a series of sharp-tongued heroines-and the devastating men they call their own-who both create and confront their neuroses, navigating the tricky territories of romance with vicious humor, regret and more than the occasional cocktail. | |||||
