The Heidi Chronicles at NJT

Both significant and celebrated, Wasserstein’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play follows the coming of age of Heidi Holland, a successful feminist art historian, as she tries to find her bearings in a rapidly changing world. We follow Heidi and her friends, male and female, gay and straight, as they mature from the 1960s to the 1980s while searching for political, professional and personal fulfillment., Funny, touching, and written with rare grace and sensitivity, the play is a moving examination of the progress of a generation—a time during which the status of American women underwent profound, and sometimes unsettling, change.
