'The Sisters Rosensweig' runs June 7 to 21 in Toronto

The Sisters Rosensweig tells the story of one weekend in the lives of three Jewish-American sisters from Brooklyn who gather in London to celebrate the birthday of the oldest sister, Sara (Rosemary Dunsmore). Sara is an overachieving expatriate living in England.  Middle sister Gorgeous (Linda Kash), is a housewife, mother and radio personality triple-threat living in Newton, Mass. The youngest is Pfeni, nee Penny (Sarah Dodd), a globetrotting journalist who lives her life as if she were on an extended junior year abroad.

During the lively weekend, the sisters - with Sara's daughter Tess (Sara Farb) and several male friends (Steve Cumyn as Geoffrey,Richard Greenblatt as Mervyn,Andrew Craig as Tom, andMichael Hanrahan as Nicholas) - throw a party, share secrets and try to decipher the men who fall in and out of their lives.

Partially autobiographical, The Sisters Rosensweig premiered on Broadway in 1993 and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play.  It ran for over a year and was Ms. Wasserstein's second Broadway hit in a row - an unheard of feat in the theatre in recent decades.  It arguably made her the most prominent female playwright in America for the remainder of her life.

Wendy Wasserstein won the Pulitzer Prize, as well as Tony, Outer Critic Circle, and Drama Desk Awards for her play, The Heidi Chronicles.  Her other works include the plays Isn't It Romantic, Old Money, An American Daughter and Uncommon Women and Others; the children's book, Pamela's First Musical (1996), the screenplay The Object of My Affection, (1998); and two collections of personal essays, Bachelor Girls, (1990), and Shiksa Goddess: Or, How I Spent My Forties (2001).  She died of lymphoma in 2006 at age 55.
