This play was ok. Looking at it through a satirical lens was quite entertaining though, but I don’t think I really need another satire on old white ladies’ lives after this one.

There is no review where Dottie is concerned, only a list of best quips:
"Pardon this little eccentricity of mine. I always take my shoes off when I drink."
"Mrs. Ames, this is against my best business interest, but promise me you'll never be seen carrying a lending-library book -- the book with the cellophane dust jacket. It's the badge of the unwanted woman."
"LINSCOTT: Well, life certainly treats you fine.
CONNIE: No, Tom. Life and I go Dutch."

What a vicious little play! I love these horrible, pointless old ladies, and feel deeply sorry for them.
"Mrs. Ames, this is against my best business interest, but promise me you'll never be seen carrying a lending-library book -- the book with the cellophane dust jacket. It's the badge of the unwanted woman." - what a horrible thing to say about people who like to read! Dorothy Parker is brilliant.
