Synopsis: | This is a new adapatation by David Auburn of a 1906 comedy by Langdon Mitchell. Cynthia Karslake is a freewheeling young divorcee in 1906 New York City society. She has decided to settle down again into a much more stable, reliable relationship with the prominent Judge Philip Phillimore. Little does she know, however, that neither of their impetuous and unpredictable ex-spouses, nor her beloved race horse Cynthia K, is yet down for the count. In this sharp-tongued comedy, Auburn sheds new light on a little known play from a century ago that offers a surprisingly contemporary look at social mores, status, and attitudes about sex and divorce in upper crust New York. | |||||
