The Spinster Diaries: A Play

Happily Ever After is Overrated...

Our heroine, a moderately successful TV writer in L.A., wants her life to be as sunny and perfect as a Hollywood rom-com: a cool job, a wacky best friend, and lots of age-appropriate hot guys just dying to date her. Instead, she's a self-described spinster who is swimming in anxiety and just might have a tiny little brain tumor pressing on her frontal lobe. So she turns to an unlikely source for inspiration: the eighteenth-century novelist and diarist Frances Burney, who pretty much invented the chick-lit novel. 

A semi-autobiographical unromantic comedy, adapted for the stage from the novel by Gina Fattore of the same name, The Spinster Diaries: A Play, is a satire of both the TV business and the well-worn conventions of chick-lit—-as well as the true tale of the forgotten writer who inspired Jane Austen to greatness. It's an endearing and refreshingly honest testament to how one person's life can reach out across the centuries to touch another's. A one night only, one woman show starring Rachel Kabodian as our title Spinster, this is an evening you won't want to miss!
