The Wharton Comedies

Edith Wharton’s sublime wit shines through in two delightful one-act comedies, complete with her delectable signature twist. In Roman Fever, Grace and Alida reminisce above the Colosseum, having known each other so well for their entire lives, or so they think. The Fullness of Life reveals that the afterlife, while enchanting, may not be all that it’s cracked up to be.
