In Act One, a young lawyer, C, has been sent to the home of a client, a ninety-two-year-old woman, A, to sort out her finances. A, frail, perhaps a bit senile, resists and is of no help to C. Along with B, the old womans matronly paid companion/caretaker, C tries to convince A that she must concentrate on the matters at hand. In As beautifully appointed bedroom, she prods, discusses and bickers with B and C, her captives. As long life is laid out for display, no holds barred. She cascades from regal and charming to vicious and wretched as she wonders about and remembers her life: her husband and their cold, passionless marriage; her son and their estrangement. How did she become this? Who is she? Winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize, this engaging examination of the life of one woman is one of the biggest hits of the season.
