Laura Linney and Jessica Hecht Deliver Haunting Friendship in 'Summer, 1976' on Broadway

The play is subtly, insistently feminist and more than the wisp of a two-hander that it might first appear to be. The two women are a gorgeous duo, bickering lifelines for each other, vulnerable and too proud. The play is a story of profound connection and awakening disquiet, which director Daniel Sullivan directs with his customary unostentatious lucidity.
