Thoughts on the play

Special Offer:

Every Wednesday, Dinner at The Cardinal and a Show!

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.

The New York Society Library presents its exhibit: Edith Wharton's New York City: A Backward Glance.

Through December 2012.
