About This Show

Lincoln Center Theater presents the world premiere of Third, a new play by Wendy Wasserstein, directed by Daniel Sullivan. The play is a candid, uncompromising portrait of a woman at a crossroads in her life. In Third, college professor Laurie Jameson’s seemingly ordered life as a wife, mother and daughter, as well as educator, is thrown into disarray after she accuses a student of plagiarism, the aftermath of which forces her to question the values and ideals she has clung to for so long. Two-time Academy Award winning actress Dianne Wiest stars as Laurie Jameson.
