Apr 2: Women’s Hotel by Daniel Lavery
The Biedermeier may lack the glamour of the Barbizon, but its residents still lead vivid, entangled lives. Katherine, the weary manager; Lucianne, the pleasure-seeking rebel; Kitty, the freeloader; Ruth, the frustrated hairdresser; Pauline, the typesetter; and Stephen, the elevator operator and Cooper Union student, all navigate shifting jobs, lost opportunities, and fading routines. As they forgo comforts, chase work, and confront personal disappointments, they share one certainty: the Biedermeier’s days are dwindling, and they must make the most of what remains.
