The Best of Everything October 20, 2012

Before 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' there was Rona Jaffe's scandalous 1958 bestseller 'The Best of Everything.' Now this controversial novel, which was the basis for the hit 1959 movie starring Joan Crawford, comes to the stage courtesy of the new theater company 95 WordsPerMinute. Set in the pre-women's liberation era, 'The Best of Everything' tells the story of five young and impressionable secretaries. New to the big city, they dodge the garter-snappers at Fabian Publishing while seeking thrilling careers, gay adventures, and a nice boy to take them out to dinner.
