My husband, Bruce, and I recently attended the show “Bull in a China Shop”, a play by a recent MHC grad, Bryna Turner. The play tells about the romantic relationship between Mary Wooley and Jeanette Marks, while also highlighting how Mary Wooley singlehandedly turned Mount Holyoke from a finishing school for young women into an institution that offered them a serious education. It played off Broadway last year to rave reviews and is currently having a six week run in Chicago. We really enjoyed it. The dialogue was terrific with lots of very funny lines and the Chicago cast was great. Overall, I was quite impressed by the talents of the playwright, although there were some aspects of the script that, at least in my view, could benefit from more work. At any rate, it is something to watch for and enjoy if it comes to a location near you.
