What readers are saying
Readers find Rose's Dilemma to be a humorous and poignant exploration of old age and legacy. However, they note that the play has some weaknesses, including lines that occasionally miss the mark.
Synopsis
In her beach house in the Hamptons, celebrated writer Rose Stern stands at a crossroads: she hasn't written anything in years and money is getting short.
Her former lover, literary lion Walsh McLaren, offers her-from beyond the grave-an opportunity to regain her celebrity and gross millions.
It's not going to be easy and a "ghost" writer is required setting in motion another touching and unpredictable romantic theatrical by America's premier Pulitzer Prize-winning comic playwright.
