Girl Friday Productions is back this fall!
Wife of a Salesman
by Eleanor Burgess
September 18-October 4, 2026 at Gremlin Thetre
When a devoted housewife–from a certain classic American drama–tracks down the woman who is sleeping with her husband, the two discover that they have more in common than society would like them to believe. Important questions of marriage, duty, and happiness rise to the surface in this frank exposé of the ways in which the world has (and hasn't) changed across generations.
