The Ladies of the Corridor
Introduction by Marion Meade
Drawing from the dark side of her
imagination, Dorothy Parker’s The Ladies
of the Corridor is a searing drama about
women living in a New York residential
hotel. Loosely based on Parker’s life, and
co-written with famed playwright Arnaud
d’Usseau, it exposes the limitations of a
woman’s life in a drama teeming with
Parker’s signature wit.
