Wendy Wasserstein

Published by Samuel French Inc

3 Male 4 Female

A drawing room comedy that spans the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Old Money introduces the exotic creatures that have inhabited an old Manhattan mansion most recently during rich banker Jeffrey Bernsetin's posh party

A wealthy robber baron and his family, their descendants and assorted characters in their midst an Irish maid, a Hollywood producer, a social climbing decorator, confused teenagers and eccentric artists mingle in a contrast of old money and new

"The Tony Award winning playwright has channeled her flair for witty social commentary into a portrait of two very wealthy families who live a century apart.... A sharply written ... rumination on how the other half lives, and a reminder that some of the best things in life truly are free even in Manhattan" ~ USA Today

"Wasserstein believes in the power of laughter [and] ... she has a good eye for the foolish ways of the moneyed people then and, especially, now" ~ N.Y. Post

"Brilliantly nostalgic and infinitely charming.... Rich, evocative, moody, elegant" ~ The Spectator
