In Arthur Laurents's A CLEARING IN THE WOODS, produced on Broadway in 1957, the heroine, played by Kim Stanley, confronts four younger versions of herself.
And in Joe Pintauro's BESIDE HERSELF, produced Off-Broadway by Circle Rep in 1989, the heroine confronts three younger versions of herself. I pointed out the similarity when I reviewed the Pintauro play, provoking an irritable letter from Joe in which he declared that neither he nor anybody else had ever heard of the Laurents play. |
