Remarkable....sharp and clear" -Michael Feingold for The Village Voice "Affecting" - Catherine Rampell for The New York Times "[An] elegant and polished revival....a devastating portrait of high society and the moneyed set" - Victor Gluck for Theatrescene.net The New York Society Library presents its exhibit: Edith Wharton's New York City: A Backward Glance.

Edith
Wharton's novel of Society heart
and heartlessness, adapted with
the author by the master of the
turn-of-the-century stage, Clyde
Fitch. Lily Bart is radiant,
witty, and admired--but nearly
destitute. Her refusal to marry
without love or return 'favors'
for the support of married men
leaves her at the mercy of her
friends...but friendship is a rare
commodity in the vicious circus of
the New York social set.
