Daughters of the Sexual Revolution

In the 1970s, the sexual revolution had finally given women the freedom to fully explore their natures. How women of various ages reconciled this freedom with their personal ethics is the subject of Dana Leslie Goldstein’s newest play, Daughters of the Sexual Revolution.

Set in Westchester in 1976, the play swings back and forth between the households of two women in love. Joyce, 40, is having an affair with Judy, early 30’s. Judy is married to a psychiatrist, Liam, who controls her with Valium. Joyce’s understanding husband, Ed, 50’s, is protective toward their daughter, Stacia, who is a first year college student. Stacia, a volatile and hotheaded girl, is discovering sex for the first time with Simon, a classmate from her college ethics class, and is bringing him home for vacation.
