"Fast Girls" Community Play

A precursor to Sex and the City, this fast-paced comedy is also a buddy story about two single women in the city, in the late eighties, when the sexual revolution hit a definite snag. Lucy Lewis loves men, being single, and playing the field; she is a successful career woman and a "fast girl." Her neighbor Abigail McBride seeks a suitable husband and, in her mid-thirties, is definitely desperate, declaring that she realized, too late, that "high standards and loneliness are one and the same thing." Lucy's mother Mitzi comes to town. Her goal: to convince Lucy that she has GOT to settle down before it's too late, and she sends over Lucy's ex-boyfriend Sidney to seal the deal. In one of the funniest second acts in theater history, Lucy pretends to cook for Sidney and be a "good girl" to show him how ridiculous it is; but the charade backfires. Meanwhile, her boytoy-of-the-minute keeps turning up, never suspecting the hornet's nest he is strolling into.
