Atlantic Commission

Cynthia Karslake is a freewheeling divorcee in 1906 New York City society. She has decided to settle down again into a much more stable, reliable relationship with a prominent Judge Philip Phillimore. Little does she know, however, that neither of their bombastic and blowsy ex-spouses, nor her beloved race horse Cynthia K is yet down for the count. In this sharp-tongued comedy, David Auburn enlivens and enriches a little known play from a century ago, and shines a surprisingly contemporary light on social mores, status, and attitudes about sex and divorce in high society.
