The Parlour Series: Dorothy Parker Pen

In the early 20th century, New Yorker Dorothy was celebrated for her acid pen and cutting turn of phrase. A founding member of the famed Algonquin Round Table set, who dubbed themselves The Vicious Group, Dorothy Parker Pen became the phrase for sharp, satirical and devastating writing.

In this unique play of words and music, jazz diva Ali Bodycoat performs jazz standards of the golden era while actor Sarah McNeill delves into the caustic wit, satire, wisecracks and wordplay of Dorothy Parker's poetry and short stories.
