The title character of this new work shares her Manhattan suite with an eclectic gang of young urbanites including a Bronx-born tough Italian girl and a preppy WASP from Philadelphia. While Prudence is the least prudish of the three, her promiscuous ways come to a head when her one true love comes in from England.

Rosemary Katherine Andress directs a cast that includes Kristin Stewart Chase, Jerusha Klemperer, Lynn Antunovich, Natasha Piletich, Garth T. Mark and Jim Conroy. Chase, a downtown devotee has been seen in Or Polaroids (HERE), Sincerity Forever, Baal and Ajax (por nobody) (Flea Theatre).

The design team includes David Swayze (set), Marcus Doshi (lighting), Kevin Hucke (costume) and Kai Harada (sound).
