Another exciting world premiere from the celebrated author of last year's "The Lincoln Affair". Presented as a staged reading, this new play covers the lives of 3 famous authors, members of the (in)famous "Algonquin Round Table", over a two-decade span in the 1920's and 1930's, as they observe with their biting wit and sharp intelligence the changes in the world around them. Or has it really changed at all?
