ENJOYABLE TALE THOUGH AN UNLIKELY PLOT. ACTING TOP RATE BUT THEY COULD HAVE USED MICROPHONES
Excellent production. Extremely high quality and engaging story by Wendy Wasserstein. Don't miss it!!
Different than other Wasserstein plays. Sad that this is the last.
The Geffen Playhouse recently underwent an exciting renovation. The changes are stunning, and provide for improved accoustics and sitelines. In addition to the Main Stage there is now the more intimate Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theater, which will focus on newer works for the Los Angeles community.

As a professor at one of New England’s most prestigious universities, Laurie Jameson (Christine Lahti) has seen her share of young, entitled athletes. So when Woodson Bull III approaches her regarding conflicts due to his sports schedule, she assumes she has him pegged. To her shock, "Third" (as he is known) turns in a paper on King Lear that is nothing short of literary genius. Her prejudices lead her to pursue a case of plagiarism, and what she discovers is that his "third generation" life of privilege is far less blinding than her so-called liberal ideals.
This production marks the West Coast premiere.
