520 . ‡aTwo serious ladies: A modernist cult-classic, mysterious, profound, anarchic, and funny, and only novel by avant-garde literary star and wife of legendary writer Paul Bowles. Christina Goering and Frieda Copperfield, both upper-class women, embark on separate quests of salvation, ultimately descending into debauchery-- Miss Goering becomes involved with various men, and Mrs. Copperfield visits Panama with her husband, where she finds solace among the women who live and work in its brothels. At the end the two women meet again, each transformed by her experience."--Amazon.com.
520 . ‡aIn the summer house: The plot of this play is driven by character interactions, comparing two widows and their unstable daughters -- Gertrude Eastman Cuevas, an overbearing mother and her gentle daughter Molly, and Mrs. Constable, a gentle mother and her overbearing daughter Vivian. The second act occurs in a restaurant named The Lobster Bowl and uses intensive food imagery.
520 . ‡aIn the summer house: Bowles' only full-length play, was first performed in 1951 in the Hedgerow Theater in Moylan, Pennsylvania. The Broadway play opened at the Playhouse Theatre December 29, 1953 with music by Paul Bowles, her husband, where it ran for two months to mixed reviews and low attendance. Around 1963, the play was revived. The play was revived again in 1993 At the Vivian Beaumont Theater with incidental music by Philip Glass. A later Washington Shakespeare Company production featured music by Richard Reinfield.
