Robin Abrahams Set for PRIVATE LIVES Talkback at Boston University Theatre, 6/10

By:

In conjunction with the Huntington Theatre Company's production of Noël Coward's sparkling comedy Private Lives, The Boston Globe's "Miss Conduct" columnist Robin Abrahams will discuss the psychological underpinnings of the zaniness depicted in the play at the post-show Humanities Forum on Sunday, June 10 immediately following the 2pm performance.

Robin Abrahams writes the popular "Miss Conduct" social advice column for the Boston Globe Magazine, and is the author of the book Miss Conduct's Mind Over Manners, a guide to social life in 21st century America. She is involved in the local theater scene as a board member for Underground Railway Theater and as associate producer for Blood Rose Rising. Ms. Abrahams works as a researcher at Harvard Business School and has co-authored articles in the Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, and The Wall Street Journal. A Cambridge resident with a PhD in research psychology from Boston University, she hosts a regular segment called "Social Studies" on WGBH radio's "Emily Rooney Show," appears frequently on radio and television and in print venues, and maintains two blogs: robinabrahams.com and boston.com/misconduct.
