About the play:
Dorothy Parker was a literary tornado wrapped in elegance — a woman whose razor-sharp wit masked profound loneliness, heartbreak, and disillusionment with the glittering world around her.
Vicious Circles & A Writer of Note: The Tempest of Dorothy Parker plunges audiences into the storm of Parker’s brilliance, following the humor, fury, vulnerability, and biting intelligence that made her one of America’s most unforgettable voices. Funny, haunting, and fiercly human, the play reveals the woman behind the legendary one-liners and the emotional cost of surviving by wit alone.
