• Wendy Wasserstein

Wendy Wasserstein is one of the best-loved writers in the modern theater. With wit and intelligence, she captured the voices of complicated, ‘uncommon women’—such as Third’s Professor Laurie Jameson, who upends her own life when she accuses a student of plagiarism. Wendy Wasserstein’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play The Heidi Chronicles was produced as part of our very first season. Wasserstein’s play Uncommon Women and Others, written when she was at Yale Drama School, was filmed with Meryl Streep and Swoosie Kurtz.
