The Museum will offer a screening of "Wendy Wasserstein on Writing" Feb. 10 at 4:15 PM. The program features a taped 1993 interview with Wasserstein conducted by the Museum's television curator, Ron Simon.

"Wendy Wasserstein on Writing" also includes footage from "Great Performances: Theater in America: Uncommon Women and Others" (1978), "Great Performances: Three Cheever Stories: The Sorrows of Gin" (1979, adaptation by Wasserstein), "Trying Times: Drive, She Said" (1987), and "Great Performances: Celebrating Creativity, American Style: Kiss, Kiss Dahlings" (1992).

During the interview Wasserstein, according to a press statement, discusses "how she got started; the evolution of themes in her work; the effects of television on the current generation of playwrights; and the life Uncommon Women gained through its PBS incarnation at a time when Broadway producers wouldn't touch a play about women."

"Wendy Wasserstein on Writing" is 90 minutes in length.
