THE HEIDI CHRONICLES follows the career, social activities and love life of Heidi Holland, through 1970's & 80's .  While hers is not an everywoman story, there is still something that every woman today has gone through or will face in the future, namely, the quest to 'have it all', the question of whether or not that's even possible and what it means to be a feminist.  If that all sounds too heavy, don't worry.  This play has a lightness of tone that belies the serious issues underneath, and really strikes the perfect note of intelligent discourse with a heavy dose of levity.
