The Waiting Room

Synopsis

A dark comedy about the timeless quest for beauty-and its cost.

Three women from different centuries meet in a modern doctor's waiting room.

Forgiveness From Heaven is an eighteenth-century Chinese woman whose bound feet are causing her to lose her toes.

Victoria is a nineteenth-century tightly corsetted English woman suffering from what is commonly known as "hysteria."

Then there is Wanda, a modern gal from New Jersey who is having problems with her silicone breasts.

Husbands, doctors, Freud, the drug industry and the FDA all come under examination.

The play is a wild ride through medical and sexual politics, including the politics of the ever-present battle with breast cancer.
