The Roommate

Paperback

Price: $15.95

Overview

Silverman isn’t interested in the dull details of conventional storytelling…Delicious [and] surreal. …A play that gives two noningénues strange [and] meaty roles. (New York Times)

Sharon’s never had a roommate before. In fact, there’s a lot Sharon’s never done before, but Robyn’s about to change all that.

Jen Silverman’s The Roommate shatters expectations with its witty and profound portrait of a blossoming intimacy between two women from vastly different backgrounds, as they navigate the complexities of identity, morality, and the promise of reinvention. Being bad never felt so good as it does in this riveting one-act about second acts.

This revised and updated edition was published to coincide with the 2024 Broadway production which starred Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone.

Reviews

"Silverman is an observant, lyrical and kind writer, generous to all and without any notes of condescension in [their] writing. For all the deviance, [The Roommate]'s ambitions remain rooted to the study of its characters." –Chicago Tribune

"Silverman isn't interested in the dull details of conventional storytelling...Delicious [and] surreal. ...A play that gives two noningénues strange [and] meaty roles." –New York Times

"In its wryly unassuming way, "The Roommate" is laced with insights into how a lifetime's accumulation of frustrations and disappointments can erupt into the kind of rebellion that only seems out of character to those who aren't paying attention." –Boston Globe
