SIGNIFICANT OTHERS

Tranquility reigns in the ancient redwood forest until a women-only music festival sets up camp downriver from an all-male retreat for the ruling class.

Significant Others is Armistead Maupin’s cunningly observed meditation on marriage, friendship, and sexual nostalgia.

“An enormously talented writer—witty but always sympathetic, generous in showing us the secrets of his heart.”   - Amy Tan

“Comedy in its most classical form…[with] some of the sharpest and most speakable dialogue you are ever likely to read.”  - The Guardian (London)

“The color is wonderful, the line bold and flowing. It is also wise, witty, loving, and caring about the foibles and frailties we all seem to have.”  - David Hockney
